Spain — Blog — Our Vagabond Life

I signed up for this tour recommended by Trip Advisor with a bit of unneeded trepidation. It was a great tour, with passionate tour leaders and great wines and tapas. We toured the Can Bas winery and its cava (sparkling wine) affiliate. The Spanish Denominacion de Origen is Penedes. In this region of Spanish wine making, no artificial watering can take place, so the vintners are at the mercy of the weather for their rain.

Barcelona--Beginnings in a new country

Well, it's almost the view from our window. We are right across the street from the east side of The Sagrada Familia. We have a view of the 34,000+ tourist who visit this unfinished marvel every DAY! And, on clear days, we can see a castle on a hill. Spain, the vagabonds have arrived!
