We love nature and we were thrilled to learn that we could hike up to the sant jeroni summit in Montserrat. We finished the choir at 13:15pm and rushed to take the 13:30 sant Joan funicular departing at the lower station. We started the hike at the sant Joan funicular upper station. It’s a moderate hike except the last section to the summit that had many steps up (more than 200). We got an information sheet from the information center at the monastery and it’s very helpful. The trail was very well marked and as described on the sheet. The mountains and the view to the monastery were awesome. It took us 2 hours 15 mins round trip with no breaks and just a few photo stops because we had to be back to Barcelona by 19:00. The summit was too windy for us to stay for more than 5 minutes anyway (bring extra clothes or scarves). But still good exercise and wonderful scenery. A must-do when visiting Montserrat. FYI, our hike was between the sant Joan funicular upper station and sant jeroni summit and it’s perfect for us (not enough time plus the fares of sant Joan funicular were included in our trans Montserrat tickets already). But for those physically strong, u can start ur hike from the monastery!!
2. Recaredo

5.0 based on 182 reviews
We’re a family of winegrowers specialized in Millésime Brut Nature Sparkling Wines (zero dosage). We’re committed to capturing our Mediterranean landscapes in a bottle. That’s what drives us to cultivate only our own vineyards planted with indigenous varieties. We practise dry farming and apply the principles of biodynamic agriculture –a step beyond organic. Like sentinels waiting patiently in silence, Recaredo’s bottles remain in the darkness of our cellars for at least 30 months until they achieve a truly unique character. In the case of Recaredo’s most exclusive family wine cellars, some of our Sparkling Wines are aged for nearly 20 years, preserving a wealth of elegant and complex nuances. ROBERT PARKER- THE WINE ADVOCATE: “I’m not sure if there is any other sparkling wine producer in the world who works with such strict standards (...) There is a sense of energy and harmony in their wines that is impressive; they are all highly recommended.”

We chose the private visit and our amazing guide was Lluba. We are fairly experienced wine lovers who have done wine tours worldwide. Having said that the private tour is an amazing experience for people new to the cava experience, or biodynamic farming, as well as experienced oenophiles. Lluba was both a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and her tour was excellent. We elected to have the tour in English. We were able to sample several reserve cavas, and the 2008 reserve was disgorged for us by one of the current owner / vintners, Josep Mata. We were also able to sample both still wines and reserve cavas with dried sausage and breads. Very enjoyable and enlightening experience overall. Pricey for a cava tasting but well worth it.
3. Pares Balta
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 165 reviews
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.

There is so much to see in Barcelona - This shared, it is well worth taking an afternoon and getting out of the city for a wine and cava tasting with tapas at Pere Ventura! We met with Beth - the winemaker, and Rosa - for the Cava tasting and tour. An unbelievable afternoon touring the vineyards and the cellars! - a 45-minute drive outside of the city.

Visited for the day from Begur (on the eastern coast of Spain). It was about a 90 minute drive via the freeways. It is a very beautiful and historic site - well worth the visit- the Basilica was my favorite - along with the spectacular views from up top. It surprised me that hardly anyone talked driving their own car up the mountain - there are two fairly good sized lots near the top and you don't have to take the train. This is a good way to see it also if you have mobility issues. The museum and church can be visited by climbing no more than 2 flights of stairs - and both were very interesting - with the added touch of hearing the wonderful boys' choir at 1 pm in the church. The museum was top notch - many styles - with religious works representing perhaps 1/3 of the art there. The cafeteria supplied hot and cold lunches (cafeteria style) - and even though there were many visitors, finding a table was easy (we visited on Mon.Nov. 25th, 2019).

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
