Additional Information

When we reach the Poblet Monastery, a Cistercian abbey acknowledged as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, we’ll be presented with an extensive architectural marvel nearly 1000 years old, ranking amongst the three biggest and most intact in the world. Our journey will continue towards the birthplace of the renowned Priorat wine. An essential stop at one of the local wineries will help us appreciate its robust taste and understand the unique geological conditions of the soil. Our next point of interest is Siurana, a stunning location perched on a rocky mound. Two must-sees here include the remnants of a 9th-century Arab fort and the Santa Maria Church, a 12th-century Romanesque worship site. At this location, we will also sample some of the region’s highest quality wines from local wineries. Lastly, it would be unforgivable to leave this delightful and unspoiled region without visiting the Cartuja de Escaladei, the first Carthusian monastery in the Iberian Peninsula with a rich 1000-year history, now existing only as archaeological ruins.

Gorgeous intact medieval monastery - My young Irish driver was charming, well-traveled and knowledgeable. He was also an excellent careful driver. The drive to Poblet Abbey was scenic and we had a gorgeous day. The abbey was of particular interest to me; the tour company made sure that Poblet was the highlight of my day, even though I was touring alone. The electronic introduction to the abbey was especially good, as it covered both the very long history of the monastery as well as life with an active monastic life. Also, because I was travelling alone, I was able to spend extra time in the museum at Poblet and stop for a coffee. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in monastic life or history.
