Alex picked us up in the hotel in the agreed time. Then we went with his van up to Penedes area (about 25-30min ride). During that time he explained what we would do and got to know each other a little bit. Once there he provided the bikes and we followed a road (mainly downhill or even path). He would keep driving with the van but stoped every 5km and made sure we were ok and provided watter if necessary. You did not need to be in a good shape to do this journey. The views are incredible and while the ride you see some nice houses with Modernist influences. Then, he let’s you choose what to do (breakfast or castle visit). We decided to know a little bit more the area so we went to a close by Castle. As our group was formed by young members, after that visit he brought us to anothe path which was not as easy as the previous one (that I believes normaly is not done in regular visits), but very doable if you arr more a less in shape, and so we visited other sides of the area. After that he brought us to a very small (compared to others) and familiar winery. In there the last generation of the wine family (Josep) showed us around and explained us how wine and cava is prepared. Also, they do keep many old objects used in the past. Like an small museum. We did the wine and cava taste while speaking with Alex and Josep. At all times Alex was trying to make sure that we were enjoyig the tour. If you like to to know Penedes and its wine area while being outdors, I fully recommend this trip. Thank’s for the ride Alex.
