Priorat
This is a must-destination for wine lovers, a region where two designations of origin (abbr. D.O.) coexist. While the wines of D.O. Montsant are in general somewhat fresher and have a more marked fruit backround, those of D.O. Priorat are more mineral and concentrated.

The history of the wine making in Priorat looks back to the 12th century, with its origins in the Carthusian monastery of Escaladei. You will love to visit this place with centuries of history, and to see the picturesque towns across this wonderful wine region. One of them, by the way, is popularly known as „The New York of Priorat“. Here is why. 🙂
By the way, also olive oil of the best quality is produced in Priorat so wine and olive oil tastings belong to a visit there. The region is also very popular for hiking and trekking.
