A Monastery & a Wine Festa
29-30 August 2009
Catalunya, Spain

We visited Poblet monastery. The lady at the cellar told us there was a wine festival that night in town, so we came back after a late afternoon drive to fantastic Siurana. It was a smaller - and Spanish - St. Paul de Vence tucked high on a mountaintop. I decided on the cuff to drive up there, and Byron turned on a dime. What a find!


The wine festival was amazing (and a great deal!) and the next day we headed back to Vilafranca to see castellers for the first time. Nothing like making human towers with young children on the top for a good time!


It was a good weekend to fall in love with Catalonia.
