Long title, its true though. Everything about Catalunya is wonderful! Montpellier is 3 to 4 hours from Barcelona which is in the "Catalunya" region of Spain. In the past two months I've been there twice. The first trip , by train, with a girl friend of mine from Germany. We ate and drank and toured the city of Barcelona. We saw the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, the beach, several Gaudi buildings, Las Ramblas and La Bouqueria... we had a great time!
The second and more recent trip was Linn and I plus 10 of his colleagues on a wine tasting three day weekend. We rented cheap apartments in a little seaside town called Sitges and toured the countryside southwest of Barcelona for three days. Bisso and Javier made several appointments at great wineries and cava producers in and around Penedes and Priorat. One of the big producers we visited, whose wine can be found all over the world, is Freixenet. They make cava, Spain's sparkling wine. On our last day we were in Barcelona for lunch and a quick self-guided tour... did I mention the weather was perfect?
The next time you're planning a euro vacation... you must come to the Mediterranean coast of Spain, it is gorgeous!
