1) Torres Winery and tasting
2) Montserrat
3) Sitges
I'll get the cr@p out of the way first. The winery visit was dull, followed by a 'tasting' where they gave us each a half glass of their cheapest plonk. And it tasted like pish (although the more charitable folk said it was too young). Waste of time. Still, some suckers bought some wine so I guess they weren't too unhappy.
Sitges is probably a pretty seaside town, and it certainly has some interesting buildings, but by 7 it is dark at this time of year. So not the best use of time either (especially when tired and a bit ratty).
But then there's Montserrat. I'm not much of the spiritual, so I only really appreciate the physical side of it. And it's impressive indeed.
Great imagery...
Cloister, with plants representing hope, power, life and health. Or something.

I also have visited Barcelona, Sitges and Monserrat. The photos look very similar to mine from 1984 - although yours are a much better quality, obviously!!! I had forgotten how breathtaking Monserrat was. For the more spiritual amongst us, it was an amazing place.
