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

Freixenet

In 1861 Francesc Sala Ferres founded Casa Sala, the first wine-exporting company in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia. His son, Joan Sala Tubella, carried the business forward and after the wedding of Joan’s daughter Dolors Sala Vive to Pere Ferrer Bosch, the company entered the cava business. Pere Ferrer Bosch came from the family that owned La Freixeneda, a family estate in existence since the 13th Century and located in the Alt Penedes region. The business grew and the first labels for Freixenet Casa Sala cava appeared. From the beginning it was decided to concentrate exclusively on the production of cava, a natural sparkling wine, following the method used in the Champagne region (France) since the XVIIIth century. They built their cellars in the town of Sant Sadurni d’Anoia in Catalonia, Spain. The town is located in the heart of the Penedes, a region famous since Roman times for the quality of the wine produced there. In the 1920s and 1930s the company gained recognition thanks to the drive of its founders and the guaranteed quality of its products. It was at this time that the company started to export its products and it opened its first United States office in New Jersey in 1935. Unfortunately, the development of the company was held back first by the Spanish Civil War and then by the Second World War. Nevertheless, in 1941 the company launched what would in time become one of its star products—Freixenet Carta Nevada cava. In 1974 its leading export brand, Freixenet Cordon Negro cava, was launched, present in more than 140 countries. By the beginning of the 1970s Freixenet was well established in the Spanish market as a strong brand with a clear vocation to expand on the international stage. The constant efforts made by the company since then have led to continuous expansion in world markets and made the Freixenet Group in the mid 80’s the world leader in sparkling wines produced by the traditional method. At this time, the company decides to build cellars abroad, such is the case of Gloria Ferrer in California, Wingara in Australia and many more, and also in Spain, in other wine areas of great reputation such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Montsant, ... Nowadays Freixenet Group keeps being a 100% family-owned company with 18 cellars in 7 countries in 3 continents.

The trip to Freixenet was amazing and really special! Our guide Montse Miro was amazing, she personifies amazing hospitality. She gave us a great tour of the cellars and then ensure we had an informative Cava tasing. She even provided us with a few extra Cava samples so that I could purchase some for myself. I would definitely come back again, not just for the winery but to meet Montse, thank you for making my birthday special.

A short tour of the history of Bacardi rum (spoiler alert - the founder was from Sitges), a quick overview of the process of distilling and blending rum, a quick taste to identify flavors, then a cocktail class where we got a lesson about and tried a Cuba Libre and an Old Fashioned, made a Mojito, and for those of use who opted for a second cocktail, a choice of any of these or a daiquiri (my choice). Nice history lesson and tour! There’s also a small gift shop where you can get Bacardi branded cocktail kits and other items.
