Barcelona is a city of raucous activity, strikingly colourful and strange architecture and all the sun and sea you could ever want. With this trip, you’ll not only get the chance to discover the city, but also head out into the surrounding countryside to taste some of the food and (of course) wines that are produced in the region.
Highlights
- Stay in a charming 3* hotel right in the heart of Barcelona.
- Receive a tour of a Cava winery and a nearby castle, which still produces the wines it has been producing for hundreds of years.
- Taste at least three wines in total during the day, including the Cava which has made the region famous, with tapas and cheese accompaniments.
