Pares Balta

Parés Baltà is a family owned traditional winery that goes back to 1790. We are winemakers with a long tradition but with new and fresh ideas. The company is guided into a new era of high quality wine production under the management of Joan and Josep Cusiné and the inconditional help of their father Joan Cusiné Cusiné. We produce high quality wines and cavas with grapes from our 5 estates, situated around the winery and in the mountains of Penedès. The altitude varies from 170 to 750m and offers a diverse mixture of soils and microclimates. That gives a special personality to our wines by bringing the essence of the Mediterranean ecosystem to our grapes. At Parés Baltà, the winemaking is in the hands of Mª Elena Jiménez and Marta Casas, oenologists and wives of Joan and Josep. Two skilled young women whose efforts are reflected in the quality of the wines, showing fine character and concentration yet with elegance and balance.

MontRubi

Winery founded in 1984. Organic & Vegan wines. Indigenous grapes. Wine Bar in a 1902 Modernist Villa.

Reviewed By Senorburke

We came to MontRubí looking for the best Sumoll in Penedes and wow this place was amazing! Alejo met us upon our arrival and gave us a quick tour of the property next door that they are currently remodeling into a restaurant and tasting room- gorgeous building with sweeping views of the vineyards. We then headed over to the wine cellar and saw their concrete eggs and amphora before heading upstairs to the tasting room. We tried 6 wines in total: the delicious and supple White, the crisp rosé of 100% Sumoll, the vibrant 2018 Sumoll, a 2012 red blend, and their most recognized wine, Black, before trying a sweet wine made of Xarello. It is clear that Alejo has poured so much effort into making MontRubí a world class winery. This place is a must visit and we can't wait to come back and visit when the restaurant (and bed & breakfast!!!) are complete! In the meanwhile, Alejo, we look forward to showing you around Sonoma!

Basilica of the Sagrada Familia

The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia is a monumental church devoted to the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Construction began in 1882, based on plans drawn up by the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, and Antoni Gaudi was commissioned to continue the project in 1883. The Temple has always been an expiatory church, built only from donations. As Gaudi said: "The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia is made by the people and is mirrored in them. It is a work that is in the hands of God and the will of the people." In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the site as a minor basilica

Casa Mila - La Pedrera

Casa Mila, popularly known as La Pedrera, is a most unusual building, constructed between 1906 and 1912 by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) and declared UNESCO World Heritage in 1984. Today it is the headquarters of Fundacio Catalunya La Pedrera and houses a cultural centre that is a reference point in Barcelona for the range of activities it organises and the different spaces for exhibitions and other public uses it contains. A visit to La Pedrera, landmark building and container, gives us a better understanding and appreciation of architecture and transports us to the period when Antoni Gaudi lived.

We were amazed by the apartment building for the Mila family...and wandered in awe around the roof, attic, apartment, and courtyards of one of Gaudi's great accomplishments. We were mesmerized by his vision, his highlighting of natural elements and his keen craftmanship. What an extraordinary architect and builder!

My husband and I are so glad that we took the official guided tour of this hidden gem designed by Lluis Domenech i Montaner. Tucked away amongst the narrow streets of La Ribera, it was quite a treat to come across the Palau de la Musica Catalana for the first time and see its facade of beautifully detailed sculptures and intricate mosaics. Once we went inside and saw the interior, especially the concert hall itself, we were even more impressed. Our guide did a masterful job of providing the history and explaining the details of the building including, the ironwork, mosaics, stunning stained glass windows and skylight, and the ornate sculptures. As part of the tour, we had the opportunity to sit back and listen to the organist play. Not only was the concert hall gorgeous, the acoustics were amazing too. Our only regret was not being able to see a performance at the concert hall during our stay in Barcelona. We highly recommend booking this one hour guided tour. It must be booked on the official website in advance as spots are limited and it often sells out. If you book 21 days in advance, there is a small saving of 4 euros per ticket off of the standard rate of 20 euros.

Colonia Guell  Gaudi Crypt

Gaudi’s most hidden treasure, the Gaudi Crypt which is located inside the Colonia Guell, a textile village packed with surprises just 20 minutes outside Barcelona. The Crypt is the church of twisted columns, the laboratory for the Sagrada Familia which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005.

Reviewed By AFHJ

The church was never finished so we were seeing only the crypt. Beautiful work, everything just shouts Gaudi's brilliant mind. Our tour also included a walk around the colonia itself and a visit to the small museum.
