Explora los sabores auténticos de Catalonia en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
Catalonia is a universe in itself, a region of extraordinary wealth and diversity with a strong cultural identity. Its capital, Barcelona, is a global magnet for art and design. But the soul of Catalonia lies in its contrasts: the wild Costa Brava against the golden Costa Daurada; the majestic Pyrenees facing the fertile plains of the interior; the ancient history of Tarraco and the medieval towns against the surrealist avant-garde of Dalí. It is a destination to explore without haste, savoring its cuisine, participating in its festivities and discovering a landscape that changes at every step.

Catalan cuisine is a reflection of its landscape, based on the 'Mar i Muntanya' philosophy. Each area has its own specialties, from the fish stews of the coast to the hearty dishes of the Pyrenees.
The appetizer par excellence. Fuet and secallona are thin cured sausages, while butifarra is a fresh white, black or egg sausage (typical of Jueves Lardero). Essential on any charcuterie board.
More than a dish, a social party ('calçotada'). Tender chives roasted over the flame, eaten with your hands after dipping them in a delicious sauce of nuts, ñora and tomato.
The Christmas dish. A hearty stew that is served in two parts: first the soup with its large pasta shells ('galets'), and then the meats ('carn d'olla') and vegetables.
Typical of Lleida. Snails cooked in the oven on a tin tray ('llauna') with a tasty mixture of oil, garlic and parsley, accompanied by aioli.
A tender stew of thin beef fillets with mushrooms. The sauce, thickened with chopped nuts, is for dipping bread.
A sweet stew of veal head and leg with a powerful sauce and chickpeas. For lovers of intense flavors.
Two classic sailors. Fideuà replaces rice with thin toasted noodles, and Arròs Negre owes its color and flavor to the cuttlefish ink.
The seafood stew by definition. Potatoes and different rock fish in a tasty broth that varies in each coastal town.
A comforting mountain dish made with winter cabbage, potato and bacon, all well mashed and browned in the pan.
Two star starters. Escalivada are roasted vegetables (pepper, eggplant, onion), while Xató is an endive salad with cod, anchovies and a special sauce.
The dish of family celebrations. They are filled with roasted meat that has been aged for several days, covered with bechamel and baked in the oven.
The Catalan gastronomic gesture. Toasted country bread rubbed with ripe tomato, garlic (optional) and dressed with a good extra virgin olive oil.
The most famous sparkling wine in Spain, produced mainly in the Penedès region. It is made using the traditional method and is the celebration drink par excellence throughout the country.
Catalonia has a huge vermouth tradition, especially around the city of Reus. 'Fer el vermut' (making vermouth) is a weekend social ritual that consists of having this aperitif before eating.

In addition to Cava, Catalonia has world-class wine regions. Priorat is known for its powerful and mineral red wines, while Penedès stands out for its diversity of white and red wines.
A traditional sweet liqueur made by macerating green walnuts and a mixture of aromatic herbs in brandy. It is a very popular digestive in rural and Pyrenean areas.

Extreme caution with pickpockets in tourist areas of Barcelona. During July and August, the Costa Brava can be very busy; reserve in advance. It is almost mandatory to buy tickets online for popular attractions (Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Dalí Museum) to avoid lines and ensure access. There is a tourist tax that is paid per night directly at the accommodation.
