You could get $800 in free flights - thanks to Worldpackers. Keep reading to learn more.

Catalunya in full, this October

Join us on a weeklong journey through the heart of Spain's most unique cuisine

Ride along for our October Catalunya journey, with Michelin restaurants, countryside cookouts, Barcelona tapas crawls, and every bit in between. View this email in your browser The Full Catalunya Oct 2-9, 2022  "It's hard to think of a city that wears its charms more conspicuously than Barcelona. They're all there for you to absorb, one by one, mountain and sea, wide, majestic avenues and tiny, lonely backstreets, oil-slicked shoebox bars and opulent eateries of innovation. Spend a perfect day in Barcelona—one that starts early wandering the streets of the Gothic Quarter (magical at dawn before the city fully stirs), moves on to breakfast at the Boqueria (perhaps a plate of garbanzos spiked with blood sausage and raisins from Pinotxo, washed down with a few glasses of jet-cold cava), followed by some time lost in the grips of Gaudí (the psycho-naturalism of Parc Guell, maybe, or the dueling apartment buildings of Passeig de Gracia) before retiring to the beach for a crock of soupy lobster rice and a siesta on the sands of Barceloneta, a recharge for the nighttime tapas crawl through Gràcia or the Born that will carry you from bar to bar into the early morning—spend a perfect day in Barcelona like this and you'll find yourself saying: 'What if…'" —From Grape, Olive, Pig: Deep Travels through Spain's Food Culture, by R&K's Matt Goulding. Join us for one perfect day in Barcelona, followed by another, and another, into an entire week of perfect days in the wine region of Penedès and the Garrotxa breadbasket and the Costa Brava. The full Catalunya. One week, October 2-9, 2022. We'll be eating in renowned Michelin-star restaurants, drinking in the hills with shepherds, having cookouts with friends and sailing to a beach bbq in the coves outside Cadaques. Our hosts are the Catalan sommelier and bon vivant Maria Vallés of Mas Palou and of course Matt Goulding, one of the finest writers to eat and drink with, anywhere on earth.  Starting at $8000 per traveler.
