The beautiful vineyards of the region south of Barcelona. Away from the crowded Costa Brava coastline, excellent wines are produced in a quietly authentic rural atmosphere. From the Medieval town of Montblanc, centre for renowned Priorat wines, to the Penedés, and home to Spain's 'champagne' the delicious cava. A landscape particularly suited to a cycling tour, with stylish countryside often compared to that of Tuscany. Equally enchanting are the lesser known plains of Montblanc and the wooded region of Alt Camp. Interesting bodegas and cava cellars built in Catalan Modernist style, and one tiny chapel designed by the master Gaudí. The last accommodation is beautiful, comfortable and just a 30-minute drive from Barcelona. A perfect place to book extra nights. Hire cars available.
