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.
