The tour bus picked us this morning and we headed out to a winery called Freixenet. Freixenet was founded in 1889 and is the largest and most renowed cava houses in all of Spain. Their sparkling wines (cava) is comparable to Frances Moet and Chandon.They have a great tour and it also encompasses a train ride of the caverns.

On this tour we also went past another famous place that Gaudi built.This home was called Casa Mila better known as La Pedrera because of the uneven grey stone that ripples around a corner and gives a wavy effect. Lots of grill work on balconies.A very unusual house.
