The Priorat Region
The Priorat Region or County
Why not take a peek at a little land whose people can be traced back to ancient times? From its hideaway far from the ever-changing bustle of the outside world, this land has watched history unfold.
It is a land of steep vineyards, harsh cliffs and imposing rock-faces, hidden valleys and cool ravines. It is a place of flatlands and mountains, crystal-clear streams, sunny and ordered cultivated areas.
It is a world of small but resilient villages which have survived plagues, severe frosts, conquests and floods. This land has been inhabited since men lived in caves; since they started to work the land and build dry-stone walls to support the slopes. They cleared the forests and planted their crops; they constructed bridges, hermitages and castles.
Come and meet the men and women of the Priorat region who have cultivated their love of this land and its countryside. Newcomers are captivated by the magic of this place, where angels climb ladders and wine runs through people’s veins.
