pathWhat – Either 3 days or 1 weeks all inclusive holiday, small groups 2 -8 people, self guided circular route from one village to the next taking in wonderful walks, food and wine in and around the historical Priorat and Montsant regions.

Self guided – Does not mean you will be left to figure things out for yourself, far from it everything will be arranged and clearly explained on a daily basis. When changing hotels luggage will be collected after breakfast and transferred for you to the next hotel.

What to expect – Typical day will start with a good breakfast in the Hotel before setting off for a beautiful hike through a wide variety of truly stunning sceneries, terrains and environments. During the day you will be stopping for a good 3 or 4 course lunch of classic Spanish and Catalan dishes in one of the village restaurants and visiting a local wine cellar for tour and tasting. Evening meals either back at the Hotel or out in a local restaurant.

The Region – This is a truly beautiful area of hills, mountains and water covered in a wide variety of fauna and plants. Nature lovers, especially bird watchers should keep their eyes peeled as there are many different birds of pray including 3 types of eagle and vultures, whilst in the wooded areas you may also catch sight of the brightly coloured hoopoe and golden oriole. On the ground many different reptiles, snakes, foxes, ferrets and wild boars are known to inhabit the area. Geologically it is also extremely varied and interesting. The Priorat itself is an ancient region steeped in history,the municipality was originally formed by Cathusian monks who arrived in the 12th Century and built the now ruined but impressive monastery of Escaladei, whilst the stunning hamlet of Siurana was the last known settlement of the Moors in the area.
