In this season finale of Travel Stories with Moush, Damia Serrano from the Catalan Tourist Board takes us beyond Barcelona and into the heart of Catalonia. From volcanic cuisine and medieval towns to coastal escapes and Roman heritage, this episode uncovers the lesser-known, deeply immersive side of one of Europe’s most culturally rich regions.
Episode Highlights:
• La Garrotxa - A region shaped by dormant volcanoes, where you’ll find lush forests, slow living and a unique volcanic cuisine.
• Costa Brava - Known for its rugged coastline, hidden coves and charming seaside villages like Cadaqués and Begur.
• Costa Daurada (Golden Coast) - Family-friendly beaches, wine regions and coastal towns with a laid-back vibe.
• Montserrat - A sacred mountain range and monastery offering spiritual energy and dramatic hiking trails.
• Cardona - Home to a dramatic medieval castle and the famous Mountain of Salt, a natural wonder rich in history.
• Priorat - A rugged, mountainous wine region producing some of Spain’s finest reds, dotted with hilltop villages.
• El Ports - A dramatic natural park with Civil War history, hiking trails and a raw, untouched feel.
• Tarragona - A port city with remarkably preserved Roman ruins, including a seaside amphitheatre and ancient aqueducts.
• Ebro Delta - A natural paradise with rice paddies, flamingos and immersive eco-experiences for nature lovers.
• Lleida - Visit in early spring for breathtaking views of blossoming fruit trees of pear, peach, and apple – all in full bloom.
• Vall d’Aran & the Pyrenees - Alpine scenery, ski slopes and picturesque stone villages make this a year-round destination.
