Painting Holidays, Montsant - Spain
Introduction
Picasso and Miró painted here, drawn by the land and the light.
Cliffs and gorges create dramatic backdrops of pink and ochre and
terraced vineyards are set against deep blue skies across which
golden eagles glide.
The Serra de Montsant transports you to a wonderful world of
inland sea cliffs, mystical monasteries, olive groves and
vineyards.
Known as the Blessed Mountain, Montsant has age-old links with
the extraordinary monastery of La Cartoixa de Scala Dei. Dating
back to the 12th-century, the monks introduced winemaking which
brought great wealth to the region.Two hundred years ago wine
making went into decline but now new terraces are being built,
thanks to the growing prestige of the Priorat wines.
In the heart of this area lies the market town of Prades where
we stay by the porticoed main square of this medieval village.
