THE TRIP

An experience to remember

The region of Terra Alta, in the interior of Catalonia, is one of the most remembered places of the Spanish Civil War, because there the Battle of the Ebro took place. But it is also characterized by its agricultural tradition and in particular by its crops of hazelnuts, olive trees and vineyards. In the area, we can see beautiful modernist buildings converted into large wineries, such as the Gandesa cooperative, which was formed by the union of different wine families who decided to join efforts to fight for a future together after suffering the great effects of phylloxera.
Our hosts are waiting for you in Tierra Alta to tell you stories from the past, but also from the present, to spread their passion for growing vineyards and olive groves and to give you to try the best gastronomic recipes of the land.
