Experience
From cava cellars to charred onions eaten by hand.
The edit
Catalan cooking is mar i muntanya — sea and mountain on the same plate — and it runs from market-stall anchovies to a constellation of starred kitchens around Girona. Drink the landscape too: cava from the Penedès, brooding Garnatxa from Priorat's slate terraces, and vermouth poured over ice at one o'clock, because that is the hour for it.
