Does Spanish have a cliche for "Tucked away in...(Insert town)"
I am trying to write a small paragraph for my Spanish class and I am curious if this makes any sense in Spanish. I am trying to say that a little town is tucked away in Catalonia. My exact sentence is "Tucked away in Catalonia, Penedes is an hour from Barcelona." However, I got to thinking and was starting to panic because I don't think my translation of that sounds correct. "Ubicado en Cataluna, Penedes...." or "Escondido en Cataluna....".
Is this one of those expressions that gets lost in translation?

First of all "El Penedés" is a region of Cataluña (Catalunya) it's not a village or town. It is dificult to imagine a region truked away.
El Penedés es una comarca situada en Cataluña.
In Spanish I would use placed ( situado) instead truked away (escondido) in Cataluña.. To use escondido in Spanish I would use a sentence like this. Olot is a village truked away in the mountains of Cataluña. Olot es una villa escondida en las montañas de Cataluña. Please correct my English I hope this help
