We will arrive in Montserrat, visit the great monastery of Montserrat, built on an old hermitage. The monastery was built by the religious influence of the place, thanks to the continuous pilgrimages that pay tribute to the Virgin of Montserrat. After visiting the sanctuary we will visit the Montserrat viewpoint to appreciate the beauty that the mountain offers with its famous views that impress visitors. Then we will leave for Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. There we will visit the Sagrada Familia, the most ambitious work of Gaudí, who worked in the unfinished cathedral for 40 years. Then we will do a panoramic tour of Barcelona to do a 2 hour route in the Gothic Quarter, the Cathedral and the Ramblas of Barcelona. We will finish our tour in the port of Barcelona and the Barceloneta Quarter. Our vehicle will take you up to Montjuic mountain where you can see the city from above.

We will visit Siurana, a charming town of cobbled houses and streets, where the Romanesque church stands out. After Siurana we will visit the Baronia del Montsant winery, a vineyard located in Cornudella, where we will carry out a tasting of 7 wines accompanied by a delicious local Cornudella appetizer. We moved to Escaladei, a town that originally was the Conreria of the Carthusian monastery that was established near there. Here we will visit the facilities of Cartuja de Santa María de Escaladei, the main monument of the region, which currently belongs to the Museum of History of Catalonia. We will visit the Castle of the Counts of Prades, currently enabled as a Wine Interpretation Center. Then we will go to the Falset Marçà Agricultural area, where we will do a small tasting tasting.
