Waw, Kevin, thank you so much for your warm words! It was lovely touring with you; we enjoyed the company of you both since the first moment. Best wishes
We loved our day visiting Montserrat followed by a wine tasting and lunch at a nearby organic winery family-owned for 1000+ years. The mountain was stunning, monastery beautiful. This boutique winery was sophisticated, and we enjoyed tasting local varietals, followed by a nice lunch onsite.

Very glad to read that you enjoyed the tour, Wendy! Thank you so much for your words
We enjoyed a great day with Cristina and her husband/driver Peter who took us to Figuere and Dali’s Museum Theatre. Cristina is very knowledgeable about art, art history, and the region. The experience brought the artist and history and culture of the time to life.
