This little cottage is an amazing place on a beautiful and secluded property in the Albera region in Spain. Me, my husband, and two friends spent two nights there, while exploring the wineries and beaches in the region. It was a little difficult to find, but if you follow Google directions for Celler Can Torres from Sant Climent Sescebes, it will take you right to it.

The cottage was recently restored with a lot of love and has a nice bathroom, with good water pressure in the shower, and a kitchen. With the two bedrooms, there was plenty of space for 4 people. We spent a lot of time on the large terrace, looking at the stars and drinking wine. All needed kitchen items were there, as well as some basics, like coffee, olive oil, vinegar, honey, and sugar (upon request).

Definitely take a tour of the property with Barbara and learn about all the work they are doing to preserve the magical landscape. Each of the vineyards has a personality and a story. Then taste the wine and, if you are lucky, the olive oil. The wines are organic and "natural" without sulfites and very delicious.

One day we went to Cadaques, which was about 1 hour drive because the roads are through the mountains, and quite curvy; motion sick people should sit in the front seat, or drive. The second day we went to the beach in Empuriabrava, which was only 30 minutes away. I think Roses is about the same amount of time as it is very close to Empuriabrava. Grocery stores were a little hard to find, so ask for advice from Barbara before attempting to find on your own, unless you speak French, Spanish, or Catalan. Figueres is a 20 minutes drive maximum.

We are already planning to go back after the olive harvest this year, since we live only about 3 hours drive away, and also because I am sure we will be in need of more wine!
