Today we followed the coast to Peñíscola to view
the sea-lapped castle used in the film 'El Cid'.
We continued to one of the Cava Bodegas at Sant
Sadurni d'Anoia. This one was called (Castillo Roca) Castle Rock. They took us
through the entire process of growing, harvesting, bottling and distribution.
Luckily they distributed some samples our way with a selection of champagne,
rose and a red. I was one of two people who tried drinking from a porro; best
described as a cross between a wine bottle and a watering can. I only did it
because it was my birthday.
We had a delicious freshly prepared light lunch. We continued on to Barcelona, arriving mid afternoon. It was a tiring day and so we decided not to go
to Park Guell which would give us a view over the city. We waited for it to
cool off and then went to a shopping mall that was not the best design,
although the architect was considered very prestigious. On our way to
Starbucks, we discovered The Pudding Shop instead, best described as slightly
Harry Potterish, but serving up a delicious chicken and mushroom béchamel pie
(aka quiche).
