We asked Barcelona Inside and Out to organize a weekend in the Priorat for 3 families (6 adults and 5 children aged between 6 and 9 years). Anthony made several proposals for accommodation, activities and restaurants. We selected the best fit for us and he took care of all the bookings. It was a fantastic weekend. Both the hotel and the suggested restaurants exceeded our expectations; for the activities, we focused on visits to wineries and these brilliantly were chosen with families in mind (entertainment and education for the children while adults enjoyed the visit). A perfect plan!
