A memorable experience not to be missed!

What they Say

Our trip to Girona and Cadaqués was truly memorable. At beautiful Cadaqués, we had the most delicious lunch of home-made anchovies and grilled fish of unparalleled freshness. We could not have discovered many of the places we visited if not for A Taste of Spain.

Esmeralda LynUSA – TripAdvisor

The scenery was breath taking and we really enjoyed the tours, tasting sessions and seeing all over Catalonia…I thought Barcelona with all its historical buildings was beautiful but Girona left me speechless, I shall never forget it.

Sample Itinerary

B: Breakfast / L: Lunch / D: Dinner

Day One - Mediterranean brunch & Cadaqués

Your private driver meets you in Barcelona. In about an hour and a half you’ll get to a family-run Mediterranean farm and winery with a lovely vineyard and olive grove.

Your English-speaking guide will join you at the farm to enjoy a traditional brunch featuring a selection of their products, including home-made charcuterie with wine and “pa amb tomàquet” – the delicious rustic bread with tomato rubbed over and seasoned with olive oil and salt. After this delicious brunch you’ll have time to take a stroll with the farmer through the vineyard and olive grove.

Continue to Cadaqués, a charming fishing village in a magical spot where the Mediterranean meets the Pyrenees, it is here where painter Salvador Dali made his home. You’ll stay at a small charming hotel located at just 2 minutes’ walk from the sea and a few steps from the church.

Before dinner you’ll take a stroll with your guide visiting the house where Dalí lived.

Tonight you’ll enjoy an excellent dinner with a modern twist at a very nice restaurant run by chefs who worked at Ferrán Adriá´s world-acclaimed El Bulli.
