The Best Route Through Tarragona Province

We headed inland to Torroja del Priorat to discover the impressive Gran Hotel Mas d'en Bruno. A 5-star Grand Luxury hotel, member of Relais & Châteaux, named best resort in Europe and one of the best hotels in the world. Among vineyards, history, and absolute calm, this hotel is an experience in itself. Did you know it has a spa with an 18th-century oil press? Priorat is a land of exceptional wines, and staying here allows you to immerse yourself in its essence. The rooms, decorated with exquisite taste, offer views of vineyards stretching to the horizon. The hotel's internationally acclaimed restaurant offers cuisine that pays homage to local products. Walking through the gardens at sunset, wine glass in hand, while the sun paints the mountains ochre, is one of those moments that stay with you.

A few minutes from the hotel, we made an essential stop at Coca i Fitó winery for a tasting guided by Maria Coca. This family winery produces some of the best wines in Priorat, a globally recognized denomination of origin. We tried their artisanal Xalar vermouth and wines awarded as the best wine in Catalonia 2024. The visit includes a tour of the vineyards, where you learn about the century-old grenache and carignan vines growing on the characteristic slate slopes (licorella). The experience ends with a paired tasting with local products: arbequina olive oil, local cheeses, and artisanal cured meats. Pure Mediterranean essence.

We moved to the heart of Tarragona to enjoy the views from Caelum, the rooftop of H10 Imperial Tarraco. From this privileged terrace, the Mediterranean Sea and the Roman amphitheater look like a postcard. It's the perfect place for sunset cocktails while contemplating 2,000 years of history. Tarragona, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire. From the rooftop you can see the amphitheater where gladiators fought centuries ago, now bathed in golden sunset light. ⚠️ Note! Access is subject to availability and requires minimum consumption on the terrace. We recommend booking, especially in high season.

We continued with a dose of pure adrenaline at PortAventura World, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The park is giving away tickets to those born the same year as PortAventura, an incredible promotion you can't miss if you qualify. PortAventura World is much more than a theme park: it's three parks in one. PortAventura Park takes you from the Far West to the Caribbean through Imperial China. Ferrari Land offers Europe's fastest rides. And Caribe Aquatic Park is perfect for cooling off in summer. There are six themed hotels within the complex, so you can turn your visit into a complete multi-day experience. Our recommendation: stay at least one night to enjoy without rushing. Star attractions like Shambhala (one of Europe's tallest roller coasters) and Dragon Khan are must-dos for adrenaline lovers.

We closed our route at the spectacular Infinitum Resort, a corner of luxury facing the Mediterranean that has everything. This resort features a private beach club where you can relax to the sound of waves, three championship golf courses for golf enthusiasts, and a culinary offering that never disappoints. We especially recommend two restaurants: - **The Lakehouse**: Mediterranean cuisine with lake views - **The Terrace at Hills**: Italian cuisine in a dreamy setting The resort is perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends. Facilities include spa, infinity pools, and activities for all ages. It's the perfect golden ending for a route that combines culture, adventure, gastronomy, and relaxation.
