This was such an inspiring view into the past! I've been telling every sommelier I know - go to Priorat for the wines (of course) but MAKE SURE you also visit the Cartoixa, the remains of the monastery around which Priorat was founded. The Carthusian monks believed in solitude and silence and lived most of their lives alone in cells with a small courtyard garden where they could grow vegetables for themselves and the community. During the visit you get to walk through these living quarters and catch a glimpse into what their lives must have been - fascinating (but watch out for the human skull!) I also tell everyone I know (sommeliers and even non wine lovers) to plan a visit to at least one winery in Escaladei. Me personal favorite is the Conreria, it's a little bit off-the-beaten path and they are famous for their incredíble white wines in this land of reds - worth a visit!

Beautiful, middle-age monastery (not inhabited any more) and church set in the countryside outside Horta de Sant Joan, at a lovely spot the foot of the mountains. Really worth a visit.
