SITGES
 It
is one of the most attractive and elegant towns of the Catalan
coast, located 35 kilometres south of Barcelona and a very popular
destination.
Famous for its beautiful beaches, its cultural atmosphere, the
narrow streets that invite one to walk, enjoying a pause in any of
the beloved cafés, or to visit fashion and antiques shops. Its
nightlife and carnival are famous.
The church, located on a promontory overlooking the sea allows
us to enjoy an excellent view of the Mediterranean or to walk
through the surrounding narrow paved streets.
Very close are the Maricel and Cau Ferrat Museums that deserve
to be visited.
In addition we recommend a visit to the Romantic Museum.
 THE
WINE REGION OF PENEDES
(Cava cellars)
The region of Penedés, internationally known for wines and
Cavas is located 40 kilometres from Barcelona.
The Capital, Vilafranca del Penedés, hosts an important Wine
Museum.
The majority of cellars are open to the public.
One of the most interesting visit are to Cavas Freixenet and Cavas
Codorniu, a beautiful example of modernist architecture designed
by Puig i Cadafalch.
The guided tour introduces the visitor into a labyrinth of tunnels
where you will be able to appreciate the slow process required to
elaborate Catalan Cava.
We reccommend also a visit to Bodegas Torres, wine makers since
XVII century, to enjoy the wineyards and the visitors center.
CAVA AND MEDITERRANEAN
A visit to the region of Penedes, visiting a Cava cellar in the
morning and stopping for lunch in Sitges, allows to enjoy an
unforgettable day among vineyards, savouring the best of
Mediterranean cuisine in a typical seaside town.
MONTSERRAT
 The
Monastery of Montserrat, located 60 kilometres west of Barcelona,
on a spectacular mountain of strange rock formations, is the heart
of Catalan religious and spiritual fervour.
Founded in the XI century, the Romanesque figure of the Virgin
of Montserrat “La Moreneta”, Patron of Catalonia, is venerated by
pilgrims.
At 1 PM, inside the church, the Choir of children of the
Escolanía sing like angels. Attendance is recommended.
The view from the top of the mountain is spectacular.
