There are plenty of magnificent buildings, museums, zoo, and other things that will keep you busy when you are in Barcelona, one of the most prominent tourist spots in Europe. However, there are some of beauties and natural places that will give you a refuge from the hustle and bustle of a modern city. So, if you are planning to visit Spain, it is important that you consider these places as a part of your trip.

For example, just south to Barcelona lays the beautiful valley of Penedes which will stun you with its rolling hills and green valleys. This is certainly the best wine tour. So, you should take a day out of your trip to the city and spend it the calm of the nature. This valley is called the cava country since it is the biggest producer of Spanish champagne known as Cava. In fact, Spain has a number of exotic wine regions and a visit to Penedes will give you the opportunity to walk through the vineyards that have been producing some of the best wines in the world.

Even a few days ago, the Cava contained the label of Méthode champenoise and this is because they are produced in exactly the same way. However, under the pressure of the French champagne lobby, the label is no longer allowed. However, as a result, the Cava becomes a household name and increased its sale in a significant way.

Reaching the hills of Penedes is easy with a few minutes drive from Barcelona. There, you will get many wine makers. Yu can well visit their house and watch out the secrets that go behind the making of the Cava wine. In the process, you will learn all that is involved in the production and what's more, the wine marker will explains everything along with letting you taste the wine. In the cellar, there will age old wines in the oak barrels and this will be coupled with a delicious dinner or lunch with the Catalan cuisine. What's even more exciting is that you will have the opportunity to manufacture one bottle of wine there.

Apart from the Cava, the Penedes also produces a number of different types of wines. In fact, Spain has earned the reputation of manufacturing some of the best wines in the world and the example can be found in the Mas La Plana of Torres, Marti of Albet I Noya, Krypta from Agusti Torello, and so on.

Spain has a number of vineyards and wine makers apart from those in the Penedes. Among them, mention can be made of Toledo, La Rioja, San Sebastian and plenty of others. Certainly, you will get the taste of life there in Barcelona.
