Overview of your Barcelona tour:

"Winter; time of calçots" Recently this dish has become so popular that today is a fun activity that we do in winter with our friend: "a calçotada". When you deep these tiny and long onion in the specific sauce and you hand it in front of your mouth is when you understand why we call this an experience. (Gloves and a bib will be given to you; but be ready for the worst picture of you from your friends) The "calçotada" is only possible in winter; some restaurants only offer this menu in this season: "calçots with meat or grilled vegetables"; wine and a catalane dessert will complete our meal. As they have to be cooked with intensive fire, an antient farmer-house reconverted in a ristorante is the proper place for this meal. Close to the famous lands of calçots we have two impressive Cistercian monasteries, so important that both became the tomb of the kings of the Catalane-Aragon crown. We will visit one of them.

Your Barcelona tour itinerary

Trip to the monastery of Poblet which is an hour driving time away from Barcelona. Let's talk about Catalonia, our traditions, language, culture, history. - Inner visit of the monastery of Poblet - Lunch in a countryside restaurant for calçots and meat (other dishes are possible). Note: we will also visit either the monastery of Santes Creus or the small town of Montblanc. Important: usually there are calçots from late November until beginnings of April. But we can also do this tour with another menu.
