Sitges village
Sitges is a Mediterranean coastal town with its year-round mild climate, located in the Garraf area in the province of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. Sheltered by the Garraf mountains and due to its geographical position in the Mediterranean, Sitges has a warm "micro-climate" that makes it possible to enjoy outdoor activities almost every day of the year. Moreover, throughout the year numerous events take place in this beautiful town such as the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, Carnival, the Festa Major, Theatre Festivals, The Barcelona-Sitges Vintage Car Rally, Harvest Festival, concerts, the list goes on.
However, one can also enjoy simply taking a stroll along the sea-front boulevard, a bike ride through the Garraf Natural Park or soak up the atmosphere of the Sitges nights on the renowned "Dos de Mayo" street. Four kilometers of beach with a delightful sea-front promenade featuring turn of the 20th-century colonial Indiano mansions on one side and the sea on the other makes it always a good excuse for a trip to Sitges.
Montserrat mountains
The Montserrat massif is unique, as evidenced by its serrated ridge line of curved peaks, which give the Montserrat mountain range its most spectacular characteristic. The highest point on Montserrat mountain is the peak of Sant Jeroni (1,236 meters). From this vantage point, there are marvelous views and on days of good visibility, even the island of Mallorca can be seen. It is an amazing place to enjoy hiking and climbing.
Penedès region
Penedès is a natural and historical region located in the south of Catalonia, between the pre-coastal mountain range (Serralada Pre-litoral) and the Mediterranean Sea. Penedès is a wine-producing region. The area is framed by the coastal hills of the Serra del Garraf and the higher inland mountains which skirt the Catalan Central Depression. Long considered one of the country's best wine-producing regions after the Rioja, it is also one of the most ancient viticultural areas in Europe. Perhaps better-known for its Cava production, a sparkling wine that has had its own Denominació d'Origen since 1991, white grape varieties predominate, although the region also produces some highly regarded, oak-aged reds.
