Check this before you fall in love with a plan
Many Catalan villas enforce Saturday-to-Saturday changeovers in September. Every plan here runs Sunday to Wednesday, so some of these houses may simply not be bookable for those dates. This is the single biggest threat to the week, and it is worth ten minutes of checking before any other decision.
Several inland pools close on 13–14 September. That already eliminated four otherwise-ideal Priorat houses during research. If a pool matters to you, confirm the closing date in writing rather than assuming it is open because the listing shows one.
Book the Sagrada Família now. Centenary year, timed and nominative tickets checked against passports, no walk-up sales. Six to eight weeks ahead is the guidance and we are inside that window today.

Drive time is villa to Barcelona El Prat, which is the number that matters on Sharon's departure morning. Food and wine are excluded from the cost rows and estimated separately inside each plan.
