Welcome to Spain to Cook, the other portal to Catacurian, a privately owned boutique cooking hotel
in the Priorat region, near Barcelona Spain. In operation since 2003, we have provided our guests
with lasting memories and a wonderful experience, in which they not only learned the basics and
intricacies of Catalan cuisine as well as a more extensive knowledge of the world class Montsant and
Priorat wines, but also discovered a yet unspoiled and authentic part of Spain just two hours from
the wonderful city of Barcelona.
Whether you are looking for a single day escape from the city or a cooking vacation including one or
several nights in one of our three extremely comfortable private bedrooms, and you would like daily
hands-on cooking classes and winery visits, all given with great care, humor, and a Spanish accent
by your host and chef Alicia, then this is the place to come to!
Why are we different? We only cater to a maximum of six people, so as to convey as much personal
attention as you may need. We use almost exclusively fresh and organic ingredients from as many
local farmers and producers as possible. We serve only quality DO Priorat and DO Montsant wines.
You stay at our own very comfortable Boutique Cooking Hotel, and you may be sure to feel very
much at home in a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Our prices are all-inclusive.

2 CHOICES: "RICE SPECIAL" OR "GAUDÍ SPECIAL" Many of our guests have been sad to leave after only 3 days, and this extra day helps ease this sensation, and also makes for a more complete program than our shorter one. It is similar to a standard 3- Day program but the extra day is devoted to extra rice-based dishes, visiting the Ebro delta rice fields and a rice producer, if one chooses the "Rice" option, or there is the "Gaudí" option, where part of a day is spent in the famous architect's hometown, Reus, where we go on a guided tour of the Modernist architecture as well as an interactive tour of the Gaudí Museum. Pick-up at 10h30AM on Day 1 Drop-off at 11AM on Day 5 1,200€-1,600€/PERS. |

Both the "Rice Special" day and the "Gaudí Special" day are included as well. In September there is also the "Grape Harvest" option and in November the "Olive Harvest" choice. In each of these a day is spent harvesting, learning how wine or olive oil is produced and having a delicious and fun al- fresco meal with the whole harvesting crew.
