6 Best Day Trips from Barcelona, and the Itinerary to Know for Each | Condé Nast Traveler
"An on-site winery, vineyard picnics, and barrel-shaped spa cabins quench guests’ love of wine, and of luxury—this former monastery has a holier than thou attitude to all things indulgent and delicious. You’re only two hours’ drive from Barcelona, but it feels like another world. The hotel’s low-lying pink buildings, barely touched since their 12 th -century incarnation, hunker down in front of the wild, rocky, Mars-like mountains of Priorat. It’s incredible that a landscape that appears so barren can produce some of the most appreciated red wines in the world. With that in mind, the adults-only crowd is certainly here to get their lips dirty. It’s also a place for catching up on simple pleasures—a wine-fueled game of cards, say, or a few laps in the ultra-private, slope-flanked pool. Terra Dominicata is a spot to unwind in, and to be seen in, so the look is outdoorsy—but make it fashion." - Gemma Askham,Jessica Benavides Canepa
