Barcelona in May!

[Thomas]

quijote, about an hour north of Barcelona is the grand and beautiful French Catalonian region--and Banyuls sur Mer, a town that sits on the Mediterranean as regally as any (or more) and offers some of the great dessert wines in the universe.

A little north of Banyuls is a place called Colloure (sp). It is as beautiful, and a place where I have had a most interesting Paella; it was Matisse's hang out.
