Wine experience in Catalunya

Catalunya is one of the most important destinations for every wine tourist 🍸Firstly, there are a lot of wineries which you can visit for a very reasonable price. You can not only try a very good wine there but also see how it has been produced. Secondly, Catalunya is famous for the best sparkling wine ever  - Cava.

Priorat is one the most important wine regions in Catalunya and Spain. Every bottle of wine produced there is of the best quality. I was in Priorat and I had the opportunity to visit one of the wineries. The owner showed me his vines and explained how he took care of them. Later I tried three types of wine and the taste of them was rich of many different flavors and aromas. It was a wonderful experience. 
Cava - in Catalan "cava" means cave which were used for the preservation of aging of wine years ago. There are two types of cava: white and rose and is produced in varying levels of sweetness: dryest, brut, seco, semiseco and dulce. Almost every bottle of cava comes from Penedès, the area of Catalunya. I recommend you to drink cava after the dinner as the accompaniment to the dessert (crema catalana for example :) ).



Salut a tots! :)

Delta de l'Ebre - The kingdom of birds

In Catalunya there are a lot of places where you can relax and forget about all your problems. In my opinion, the most beautiful one is The Ebro Delta. If you need a rest I recommend you to visit this nature  reserve. It's even more interesting for all of you who love observe nature and, above all, birds. The Ebro Delta is one of the largest  wetland  areas in the western Mediterranean region. Is situated  in the  Province of Tarragona.  A large part of the delta is a  natural park  named  Ebro Delta Natural Park (cat.   Parc Natural del Delta de l'Ebre).  It has 95 breeding species of birds and is also very important for over 300 species of a wide range of transient and overwintering species. The Ebro Delta Park serves as an essential stopover point for large numbers of   migratory   birds and   waterfowl .  When I was there I saw the flock of flamingos for the first time in my life. It was an unforgett...

3. My favourite places in Barcelona - Palau de la Música

At the auditorium played grate classical musicians like the famous cellist Pau Casals or the flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal and jazz stars, among others Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. It's very impressing how many legendery concerts took place there! Barcelona is famous for its modernist architecture. The Palace of Catalan Music is one of the most incredible exaple of this style. It was proyected by Oscar Tusquets and Carles Diaz and built between 1905 and 1908. I think that The Catalan Concert Hall is the most beautiful in the world. It's amazing how rich is the decoration of the hall. There are many floral and others organic motifs. In my opinion the most beautiful and orginal  part of the decoration is the chandelier. It's made of stained-glass window. Have a look at this wonder! It's breathtaking. In my opinion, the best way to visit The Palace of Catalan  Music    is to go to some concert. Every week great musicians play there.  Check the...
