We will depart to Sant Sadurní D´anoia, where we will visit The Codorniu Winery. The imposing Codorníu winery buildings in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia were constructed between the end of the 19TH century and the beginning of the 20th (1895-1915). They were declared a Monument of Historical and Artistic Interest in 1976 and represent one of the most outstanding examples of winery architecture designed specifically for the production and ageing of cava. The winery is not only an impressive architectural complex – it continues to be the neuralgic centre, and indeed symbol, of Codorníu’s tradition and values.
Codorníu is the story of a wine-producing family that dates back to the 16th century. It is the story, therefore, of a region and its progress, of the people of an area, of their creative and innovative ability, and their talent for constant improvement. After the visit, we will taste three different products.
We will depart to Sitges, called the jewel on the Mediterranean. The village has many faces, modern and traditional, cosmopolitan and historical: Spanish folklore alongside international charm. Sitges, once a fishing village situated in an open bay with a coastline stretching over four kilometres, is located in a breathtaking landscape surrounded by the nature reserve "El Garraf".
You surely know, that Sitges is the place to be for gays on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, a friendly open atmosphere in the village and in the bars. There are several exclusively gay beaches including nude beaches. Bars and discos are in abundance catering to every lifestyle and taste. Several gay owned and staffed restaurants feature fine cuisine and a charming atmosphere. Men from all over Europe and the United States flock to Sitges to enjoy the sun, fun, and nightlife. Our guide will show you everything of this unique village. Enjoy it! We will have free time to have a lunch.
We will depart to Barcelona. We will arrive at the Gothic District where we will make a walking tour, religious centre with the Cathedral, built during centuries XIII to XV above the old Romanic cathedral. By right hand, through a fragment of the Roman wall edge, the Bishop Street led us to San Jaime square, political centre of Catalonia. Here is the Generalitat Palace on one side and the building of the City council, to the other. We will cross through the King of Barcelona Street where remarkable medieval buildings are located. We will get the bus and we will go to the Batlló House, it is a building designed by the architect Antonio Gaudí, located in Grace avenue, that crosses the modernist Ensanche district , called Manzana de la Discordia because it lodges in addition to this building, the works of the modernist architects like the Amatller house, that is contiguous to the Gaudí building , work of Puig & Cadafalch and the House Lleó Morera, work of Domènech & Montaner. We will follow until the Pedrera, this building also called Milà house was constructed between 1906-1910. Finally we will arrive at the Sagrada Family, who is the great church in Barcelona, designed by the architect Antonio Gaudí, still in construction. Its complete name is Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Family. The Sagrada Family is the masterpiece of Gaudí, the maximum exponent of the Catalan modernist architecture.
To the conclusion of the sacred family visit, we will return to the Port or Hotel.
