   rollerblading or biking 

   on its smooth surface

Barcelona

   European destinations,

   away. Barcelona is Spain’s 

   most cosmopolitan city 

   and is best known for its

   restaurants serving delicious paella and the local fideo 

   (noodles).

   with clubs in Ibiza, Marbella and Madrid have one of their first 

   discotheques in Sitges. There is a good mixture of nationalities, 

   people and ages which makes for a very relaxed atmosphere.

Wine Tasting

  The Penedès wine region is 

   one of the most famous in 

   Spain and is on our 

   doorstep. Until the 19th 

   century Penedès was 

   fundamentally a red wine 

   area and it was only at this 

   time that big firms around 

   Sant Sadurni such as 

   Codorniu and Freixenet 

   started using French 

   methods for making 

   champagne. 

   Now, of around 26,000 cultivated hectars in the region, 80% 

   are made up of the three classic types of Cava: Macabeo,    

   Parellada and Xarello.

   Of the other 20%, made up of red and white wines, perhaps the 

   most famous names of the area are Miguel A. Torres and Jean 

   León. But the area is known also for its individual style and 

   wines made up from small firms such as Can Ràfols dels Caus, 

   Can Feixes and Albet i Noya. Also some of the wines from the 

   Garraf are worth trying. 

   One way of touring the Penedes area is to divide the tours into 

   three following the 3 different types of grapes used:

       Ruta Macabeu - mainly found in central Penedes around 

        Sant Sadurni (35 minutes from the house), centre of Cava 

        and where there is a yearly cava festival in the middle of 

        October. The tour includes Codorníu, Freixenet and 

        Raventós i Blanc and a family run cava called Torelló 

        Llompart.

       Ruta Xarello - starts at the village of Lavern where you 

        can see bodegas such as Duart i Sió, Can Robira, Ventura    

        Llopart de la Costa.

       Ruta Parellada - Sat Martí Sarroca, Pontons, Torrelles de Foix 

        and all the other villages around Vilafranca (20 minutes from 

        the house) there are cavas to visit such as Finca Rovellats, 

        Can Nadall and Can Torres.

   If Sant Sadurni is the capital of cava in the region, Vilafranca is 

   the capital of wine with a good wine museum and the 

   impressive bodega of Miguel Torres.
