In the centre of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, an hour from Barcelona, you find Bodegas Mestres. Fully-customised private tours of the winery and vineyards are available upon request. Now with CEO fourth generation Meritxell Juvé at the helm the estate boasts various plots and family houses throughout the region, each with a distinct personality. It was at this time that Joan Juvé, the son of Antoni, and his wife Teresa Camps took charge of the vineyards. The first Juvé brand sparkling wine appeared in 1921, years after the underground installations were first dug out under the family’s ancestral home in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia by Antoni Juvé. With four generations devoted to winemaking and creating premium Cavas, Juvé & Camps continues to be one of the most revered cellars in the region. This extension led to Corpinnat being established in 2018, which includes 11 wineries and which, so far, remains exclusively in Penedès. It’s a bit complicated because while DO Cava is still primarily in Catalunya, it is now also found in other regions throughout Spain.

At most fiestas you will find the Castellers building human towers that can reach as many as eight to ten ‘storeys’ high. Also worth noting is that each Barrio has its own Festa Major (street festival), the most well-known being Gràcia during August. Go shopping in the markets or on the Passeig de Gràcia, or take the cable car up to the top of Montjuïc Hill to the Spanish village and magic fountains and enjoy the views.įamous holiday festivals include Sant Jordi, for the patron saint of Catalunya (April 23rd), a local equivalent of Saint Valentine’s day, marked with gifts of roses and books, Sant Joan (June 23rd), a fiery summer solstice festival with bonfires and fireworks and all-night sweet cocas and Cava and La Mercè (September 23rd-26th), featuring giants and fireworks and music and dance for the patron saint of the city. At once cosmopolitan, yet still fiercely proud of its local heritage, its attractions are many and varied, such as the gems of Catalan modernism, the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló and La Palau de la Música, or the antique charms of the old city. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.From the beaches and harbour of the waterfront, up through the medieval maze of the Gothic quarter and into open, airy neighbourhoods like the Eixample, Barcelona presents many faces to those who come to explore its riches.
