From your bike, you can see the peaks of the Pyrénées looming on the horizon. Volcanic flats stretch out ahead, leading to unbelievably pastoral fields. Along the way stand villages shaped by the hands of Roman architects, medieval craftsmen and surrealist artists. The local dialect and traces of the thriving culture—a dizzying mix of French and Spanish—poke through everywhere after years of dictatorial oppression. Dinner is tapas or a barbecue paired with a perfect vintage before settling in to a unique auberge or a palatial hotel. A mustachioed Spaniard makes clocks melt. This is no dream. It just feels like one. Welcome to Catalonia, where the unexpected happens every day.
