Barcelona in Stunning Colour: The Final Chapter

This post is part of a series. It starts with Barcelona in Black and White, Barcelona in Black and White Again, Barcelona in Stunning Colour, Barcelona in Colour II and Barcelona in Colour III: Gaudi’s Revenge.

Thank you for sticking with me so far. The Barcelona trip was not especially long but a lot happened. Today we are on another trip out of town to tour Mrs Sachie’s Jerusalem, the Frexinex factory.

See you later train. After you pass, what’s the view from the platform?

Ah, here we are. Mrs Sachie and I are proud consumers of the product of this vineyard/factory. This is where Freixenet sparking wine originates, yes all of it. They are Spain’s biggest cava producer and one of the biggest in the world, and claim to be the biggest, so they have a truly massive cellar.

Barcelona in Colour III: Gaudi’s Revenge

This blog post is part of a series. There are Barcelona in Black and White, Barcelona in Black and White, Again, Barcelona in Stunning Colour and Barcelona in Colour II. This is the third part.

Some of you may recall seeing this place, around the corner from the hotel:

That’s Casa Batlló Gaudi, which in English means ‘Batlló’s Gaudi House’ because Mr Batlló commissioned him to make a nice house and this… Walt Disney mushroom-dream is what he got. We didn’t go in but apparently you can.
