A travel destination for Javier Bardem wannabes?

If you thought Vicky Cristina Barcelona was more travel brochure than movie, good news: The picturesque town of Lleida (in Spain's beautiful Catalan wine country) is now home to the ultramodern Finca Prats Hotel Golf & Spa. The resort, which opened last week, features large, airy rooms with gleaming hardwood floors and wall-spanning sliding glass doors leading to private sun decks, some of which have Jacuzzis. (There's also a subterranean pool and spa, and a private dining room set inside a glass-walled wine cellardangerously, your room key opens the cellar doors.) The surprisingly recession-friendly rates include green fees at the nearby Raïmat Golf Club, and the hotel is close to several of the area's best Cava vineyards. And then there are the turndown truffles: Provided by local chocolatier Prats (yes, relation), the tasty confections alone are worth the flight. And, of course, there's always the chance that Scarlett and Penelope are filming nearby...
Rooms start at $217; more information at www.fincaprats.com
