Between Camp Tarragona and Ebro lands, nestling behind the peaks of the pre-coastal range, is one of Catalonia's most ancient counties: El Priorat, a land of robust character where villages and landscape blend into a single unit to delight the visitor's every sense.
Since time immemorial, El Priorat has been synonymous with wine. The two Registered Designation of Origin wine-growing areas here speak volumes about these lands, for after a century of silence these quiet, secluded villages have now become centres of wine pilgrimages. Neither we should forget El Priorat's olive oil, protected by the Siurana designation of origin certificate. This is a much-appreciated product in the county, worthy of sharing the table with the finest wines, and indeed these two ingredients are distinctive features of El Priorat cuisine. The routes proposed to visitors reveal all the most surprising aspects of an absolutely enchanting county.
