Best time to visit: April-October
Go for this: Architectural treasures of Antoni Gaudí, including Sagrada Familia Basilica and Park Güell, a bizarre, UNESCO-listed site. It's easy to get lost in the park's whimsical design!
But try this: Girona, a medieval city with one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe —and where much of “Game of Thrones” was filmed.
Favorite guest experience: The Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres holds the biggest collection of artworks by Salvador Dalí; the beaches of Costa Brava and Sitges
Favorite hotel: The Wittmore, a boutique hotel tucked away in Barcelona's Gothic quarter. An oasis of warmth and elegance, the Wittmore feels incredibly private and features a cool vertical garden and a cool rooftop terrace.
Favorite restaurant: Botafumeiro in Barcelona, for its extraordinary seafood and paella and Duran for its duck (and ask to sit at Dali’s table)
Foods:
- Arroz Negre (Spanish squid ink rice)
- Bacallà amb Samfaina (sautéed salted cod)
- Sautéed Veal Sweetbreads with Artichoke Hearts
Wine: Wines of Priorat from award-winning producers such as Clos De L ´Obac; and Cava, Spain’s answer to Champagne
