"We have been to Spain many times and we were anxious to explore the Priorat region on this Fall trip. We contacted the incredible Cristina who operates Cal Llop and spent 3 wonderful nights there. Cristina arranged the “Wine Tourism Pack” for us. This includes 2 fabulous winery visits and 1 DOP Siurana oil tasting. We were so pleased to visit these small family owned establishments. Yes. There are large famous wineries in the area that offer the normal wine tastings. But Cristina’s choices are very unique and offer a fascinating glimpse of life in the Priorat. We have been to olive oil tastings but nothing like the elegant tasting at this family run operation. The Hotel is very charming and comfortable. We chose the larger room with great views eventhough we had to do some bending for the sloping ceiling it was worth it. This old mansion has been lovingly brought to life with all the modern conveniences and beautiful hand wrought iron art. Breakfast was more than adequate and the young women preparing and serving were very sweet and accommodating. There are wonderful restaurants nearby which Christina recommended. When there was a scheduling conflict with one of our lunch reservations and a winery visit, Cristina made it all work. She had the restaurant open early for us! Driving in Gratallops is not for the faint of heart. But once our rental car made the steep climb we always found parking either in front or in the side lot. This was the Perfect way to experience The Priorat Region. Thank you Cristina."
