Sometimes, to rediscover the miracle of existence, all you have to do is look up at the sky: far from the light pollution of big cities, you can see the grandeur of the cosmos quite clearly. However, if you want to do it properly, you will need to visit an astronomical observatory. These stargazing centres are located in privileged locations, with stable atmospheric conditions and unpolluted skies, and have such powerful telescopes that, when opened, a superb show unfolds before our eyes. In the regions around Barcelona, there are several of these perfect places for stargazing. Do you know where they are? 

Following in the footsteps of Bishop Oliba a thousand years after his appointment as Bishop of Vic has encouraged us to explore other Romanesque gems in the area surrounding Barcelona, because there’s always some secret left to discover.

There are so many things to do in the five wine and cava designations of origin in the Barcelona region: learn to distinguish between a young wine and an aged wine, participate in the daily tasks of a winery, discover the different grape varieties, spend a night on a wine estate, etc. And if you like walking, you can also follow any of the many signposted itineraries that take you among vineyards. Can you think of a better way to spend a weekend?
