Catalonia, Spain - Sustainable Tourism - Unravel Travel TV
Catalonia has countless rural tourism options, with something for everyone. You will find Catalonia's most rural spots in a careful selection of very special rural accommodation, where authenticity and friendliness are among the most outstanding features. These rural tourism establishments are classified by ears of wheat, a new category comparable to the stars used for hotels. Each ears-of-wheat category establishes a set of features taking account of the specific characteristics of the building, its rooms, furniture and outdoor spaces, not forgetting the services offered to guests and the activities available in the area. Country homes, farmhouses and agro-tourism establishments in isolated rural areas or small villages. Individual accommodation or accommodation shared with the owners and other guests, allowing us to enjoy a wide range of options in our free time and to discover other ways of life connected with nature and the countryside.
Catalonia offers numerous natural areas that are ideal for leisure, adventure and nature watching activities, all while enjoying its varied landscape. From the highest peaks of the Pyrenees to the most well-hidden coves of the Mediterranean, through the valleys of inland Catalonia and the natural sites of the Ebro delta and the Lands of Lleida, active & nature tourism offers a variety of options within everyone's reach. The mild climate allows to take part in various activities throughout the year, such as hiking on an extensive network of long and short routes, cycling through the Greenways and mountain biking in one of Catalonia's 18 MTB centres. You can also interpret nature, observing flora and fauna, exploring the seabed or walking in one of Catalonia's nature spaces.
The secret of Catalan cuisine is in the quality and uniqueness of the products used, plus the combination of what is offered by the land and the sea. Prades potatoes, wines from the Penedès, the ganxet bean, Siurana olive oil, calçots (a type of tender onion) from Valls, rice from the Ebro Delta, sausage from Vic and the cheeses of Alt Urgell, to name but a few of the Catalan products with certification of origin and agri-food quality. Catalan cuisine is internationally renowned for achieving a difficult balance between innovation and tradition, through the work of chefs like Joan Roca, Carme Ruscalleda, Santi Santamaria and, above all, Ferran Adrià, who from the kitchens of El Bulli restaurant revolutionised the world gastronomy scene. Behind the cuisine of Catalonia today lies the story of a country, a land, a way of being and of doing things. That is why it has been nominated for recognition by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity. In addition to its many restaurants of all kinds, Catalonia has a network of public markets where product quality is paramount, and a number of groups of restauranteurs dedicated to promoting the cuisine typical of each area, working with the two terms of territory and product. The biodiversity of Catalonia's landscape also allows you to take part in adventure activities like rafting and hydrospeeding on several rivers, sea kayaking, canyoning, hang gliding, paragliding, ballooning, skydiving, horseback riding and climbing.
The Industrial Revolution in the Iberian Peninsula began in Catalonia, which became one of the most industrially dynamic regions of Europe. The new steam-based industry brought changes to manufacturing processes, transportation systems and even to the way workers lived. These changes can be seen in numerous examples of industrial heritage conserved in Catalonia, located around the Llobregat and Ter rivers. In Catalonia, the modernist art movement is closely associated with the Industrial Revolution. The modernist imprint is evident in factories like the Vapor Vell de Sants in Barcelona (one of the first in Catalonia), the Anís del Mono factory in Badalona, and the Freixenet Cava winery in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. One of the most characteristic elements of Catalan industrial heritage are its textile factory colonies, located in rural areas by the river. Some examples are Colonia Güell in Santa Coloma de Cervelló, the Viladomiu colonies in Gironella, and the Borgonyà colony in Sant Vicenç de Torelló. These small villages have all the services necessary for the workers, dedicated exclusively to the factory and their families. Throughout Catalonia there are examples of this industrial heritage, and of factories still in operation, in the fields of food, design, cars, wine, etc. More information is available from the Catalan Industrial Tourism Network or from the Museum of Science and Technology in Terrassa.

Tarragona - travel guide - Teletext Holidays
teletextholidays.co.uk -
Spain's Costa Dorada (or Dourada) translates as the Gold Coast thanks to the sun-kissed beaches which skirt around more than 100 miles of coastline southwest of Barcelona.
Salou is the region's primary resort, a haven for families with young children, and the epitome of the mass market tourism traditionally so popular with British holidaymakers. Away from the high-rise, however, the area's true culture and flavour remain intact. The Old World ornateness of towns like Tarragona and Sitges, the pine-scented hills of Sierra de Prades, and the vineyards of Penedes are all testament to this.

Es Cavallet is a fabulously picturesque beach due to its white sand and rolling waves. With views of both Ibiza Town and Formentera on a clear day, Es Cavallet's location is a boon, with the scenic drive across the salt flats also part of the experience.
It's an official nudist beach and the main nudist area is in the middle section of the beach backed by sand dunes. The north end of Es Cavellet, close to the car park, is popular with celebrities who usually frequent the two restaurants there. There's an active gay scene at the south end of this large beach which is centred around a fab beach restaurant.
Wild and natural, backed by sand dunes and a little green belt of shade and hills, Es Cavallet feels private. Best viewed when the east wind blows creating large waves that the wind and kite surfers love, whilst the rolling dunes and very broad sandy beach are perfect for beach strolls in the off season. In the summer months with club music and cocktails, a relaxed party feeling continues here the whole day long.
Ibiza (Catalan: Eivissa ) is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, 150 kilometres off the coast of the city of Valencia, in eastern Spain. It is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, an autonomous community of Spain. Its largest cities are Ibiza Town (Catalan: Vila d'Eivissa, or simply Vila), Santa Eulària des Riu, and Sant Antoni de Portmany. Its highest point, called Sa Talaiassa (or Sa Talaia), is 475 metres) above sea level.
While it is one-sixth the size of nearby Majorca, Ibiza is over five times the size of Mykonos (Greece), or ten times the size of Manhattan Island. Ibiza has become famous for the association with nightlife and the electronic music that originated on the island. It is well known for its summer club scene which attracts very large numbers of tourists, though the island's government and the Spanish Tourist Office have controversially been working to promote more family-oriented tourism.

Places to see in ( Barcelona - Spain ) La Pedrera
Places to see in ( Barcelona - Spain ) La Pedrera
Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera or open quarry, a reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a modernist building in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1910.
The building was commissioned in 1906 by businessman Pere Milà (ca; es) and his wife Roser Segimon (ca; es). At the time, it was controversial because of its undulating stone facade, twisting wrought iron balconies and windows designed by Josep Maria Jujol. Several structural innovations include a self-supporting stone front, columns and floors free of load-bearing walls, an underground garage and sculptural elements on the roof.
In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is currently the headquarters of the Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera (ca; es) which manages exhibitions and other activities at Casa Milà. The Casa Milà was built for Roser Segimon and her husband Pere Milà. Segimon was the wealthy widow of Josep Guardiola, an Indiano, as Spaniards returning from the American colonies with a fortune were known. Her second husband Milà was a developer known for his flamboyant lifestyle.
Gaudí's La Pedrera was inspired by a mountain, but there is no agreement as to which mountain was the reference model. Joan Bergós thought it was the rocks of Fray Guerau in Prades mountains. Joan Matamala thought that the model could have been St. Miquel del Fai, while the sculptor Vicente Vilarubias believed it was inspired by the cliffs Torrent Pareis in Menorca. Other options include the mountains of Uçhisar in Cappadocia, suggested by Juan Goytisolo, or Mola Gallifa, suggested by Louis Permanyer, based on the fact that Gaudí visited the area in 1885, fleeing an outbreak of cholera in Barcelona.
Some people say that the interior layout of La Pedrera comes from studies that Gaudí made of medieval fortresses. This image is reinforced by the seeming appearance of the rooftop chimneys as sentinels with great helmets. The structure of the iron door in the lobby does not follow any symmetry, straight or repetitive pattern. Rather, it evokes bubbles of soap that are formed between the hands or the structures of a plant cell.

Paseando por el Montblanc Medieval... Diciembre 2017
¡Hola disfrutones!
Visitamos una de las zonas más bonitas y desconocidas (al menos para los viajeros no catalanes) de Catalunya: el interior de Tarragona. De hecho nos consta de varios amigos barceloneses que nunca han pisado Montblanc, así que eso ¡nos hace especialmente orgullosos! Como veis, seguimos en esa idea nuestra de conocer los sitios menos explorados, de daros pistas de esa España menos conocida por el gran público viajero.
Os dejamos aquí enlaces de todo lo que hemos comentado en el video. Además ya sabéis que tenéis un artículo muy completo sobre el viaje en nuestra web:
Montblanc es una ciudad con muchísima historia. Al estar en una zona estratégica, frontera entre Lleida y Tarragona, cerca del mar pero metida en el interior, ha estado siempre relacionada con guerras y disputas feudales; de ahí sus espectaculares murallas!
Comimos en El Cortijo por recomendación de un vecino de Montblanc. Qué exito de elección!
Intentad concertar con la Oficina de Turismo una ruta guiada por las murallas, merece la pena:
Cenamos en el restaurante San Françesc, en la propia Montblanc. El chef es Carlos Barneda, todo un referente en Catalunya en cuanto a cocina de proximidad. De hecho el restaurante pertenece a la red internacional SlowFood KM0. No te pierdas la entrevista que hicimos a Carlos, muy interesante!
Vinos de la Conca del Barberá:
Dormimos en el Maset de les Talaveres. Es una pequeña masía a las afueras de Montblanc. En coche apenas son 10 minutos. Marcy, la dueña, siempre dice que no es un hotel al uso, es mi casa. Y por tanto, hay que respetar las reglas... Marcy tiene una forma de cocinar muy hipocalórica, muy sana y que seguro que os va a sentar bien. Y eso sí, regado por un buen vino de la Conca o una cervecita!
Al día siguiente visitamos Prades, un precioso pueblo de montaña.
Al lado tiene el monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Poblet. Es el monasterio cisterciense más grande e importante de toda Europa.
Al día siguiente nos levantamos prontito para ir con nuestros amigos de Tófona de la Conca a pasar la mañana en su finca, buscando trufas negras con sus perros. Pero... eso os lo contaremos en el siguiente video!
Esperamos os guste el video. Si es así, compartidlo en vuestras redes sociales, por favor.
