Description
Barcelona can be a magical city: the vibrancy and flair of Plaça de Catalunya, the charm and mystery of El Born, and the entire multitude of sights to take in. But while lovely, the constant stimuli provided by a sleepless, big-city life can quickly become overwhelming. Sobremesa looks to provide an oasis away from it all with Escape to the Olive Groves. This three-day excursion will take visitors away from the hustle and bustle of one of the continent’s largest cities, to the tranquil Matarranya region in Spain.
The Matarranya region is known for its lush olive groves and abundant countryside. Arriving to this quiet land of rolling hills and gigantic oaks will immediately bring a feeling of serenity to the lucky travelers. The mornings, fresh with dew, open up to a seemingly endless canopy of greens. The first day of the Escape to the Olive Groves will involve visits to delicious, local farms, picking fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables from the soil. That’s right: visitors will have the opportunity to be immersed in the local culture, getting a real feel for the land of that of Matarranya.
Of course, a getaway centered around good food would not be complete without the best cooking classes! Sobremesa Culinary Tours has you covered there as well, offering traditional demonstrations, with a modern twist. While visiting the farms, you, and the rest of your tourmates, get to learn about all the seasonings and spices they use, how to create the perfect romesco sauce, or how to craft delightful desserts with all the fresh ingredients farmed from the groves.
In true Sobremesa fashion, the evenings will be spent indulging in all the food and wine that Matarranya has to offer. Bars tapas? Heck, yes! Outdoor group dinners surrounded by olive trees? Even better! Not to mention the stunning sunsets that pepper the sky as the night approaches. All of these activities will take place in the company of your fellow culinary tourists and in the hands of the region’s most celebrated chefs.
Escape to the Olive Groves is certainly the perfect antidote to life’s city stressors. The perfect escape doesn’t come with a one-size fit cost, but rather a unique experience of reconnection with nature, great food and the joy of learning, all while surrounded by vibrant people. As such, Sobremesa Culinary Tours is proud to announce the launch of their newest addition: Escape to the Olive Groves- three days of peace and deliciousness in the Matarranya area of Spain.
