Cuenca, lying between Madrid and Valencia, is definetely worth a visit to see the unique cliff-side houses, Museum of Abstract Art, and taste the traditional cuisine. Highly recommended is Las Rejas Restaurant where chef Manuel de la Osa creates inspired modern versions of the traditional fare. See this article describing a Cuenca visit.

Priorat Wine
Absolutley amazing. Your restaurant suggestions really made Barcelona even better. But just when we thought our trip couldn’t get any better, we arrived at Mas Figures. It was like a dream, and if we didn’t take pictures, I probably would not have believed we were really there. Rachel was very very nice. She knew so much about the history of the Priorat, and did such a great job selecting the wineries. We loved Ferrán too. We loved everyone and everything really. I can’t thank you enough.

We really had an amazing time and will contact you when we return to see more of Spain! Thank you for all of your help and thanks to the people you had recommended as they really made our Spain experience come alive. We will be sure to let our friends know about our trip and your help in planning it!

I have taken ten trips to Spain, but the best trip was the one Gerry Dawes orchestrated. His love and knowledge of the foods and wines of Spain are intoxicating. His ever present enthusiasm made my Spanish experiences with him memorable.
