While last month we recommended 5 mountain bike routes for discovering the Pened\u00e8s, today we\u2019d like to share with you 5 amazing viewpoints for enjoying a landscape we love: The land where our wines are born.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is an activity you can do all year round. It\u2019s a journey through the quintessential wine landscape<\/strong>, through the geography, nature, and culture of the Pened\u00e8s, on a route that can be done by car. It covers five viewpoints: La Cadira, La Bardera, El Circell de les Gunyoles, Sant Pau, and Balc\u00f3 del Pened\u00e8s. It\u2019s called Miravinya and can be used to dive a little deeper into a large part of the Alt Pened\u00e8s geography.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La Cadira, Torrelavit<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We start with La Cadira, located in Torrelavit, in a town very close to our winery. It offers an amazing 360-degree panoramic view of the entire area. You\u2019ll recognize it because its name \u2013 \u201cThe Chair\u201d in English \u2013 describes just what it is: a giant chair for having a seat and taking a break to enjoy the moment along the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La Bardera, Subirats<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We move on from La Cadira to head to La Bardera. To get here, you\u2019ll leave behind the paper mills along the Bitlles River and the Chapel of Sant Benet d\u2019Espiells, two of the most prominent elements of the local heritage. When you get to the viewpoint, to one side you\u2019ll have the historical 14th<\/sup>-century farmstead of the same name, one of the oldest in the municipality of Subirats. If you look upward, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy views where the vines are the main attraction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

El Circell de les Gunyoles, Avinyonet<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After traveling a few miles, you\u2019ll reach the El Circell viewpoint, which stands over Les Gunyoles, a town in the municipality of Avinyonet del Pened\u00e8s. In this area, the vines share the limelight with the peach trees of El Ordal. A true gem and a real treat for your taste buds. If you haven\u2019t tried them, we recommend it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sant Pau, Vilafranca del Pened\u00e8s<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The fourth viewpoint is found in Vilafranca del Pened\u00e8s, where you can enjoy a perfect view of the wine capital. From this viewpoint, you can\u2019t miss Penyafort Castle in Santa Margarida i els Monjos, the village of Castellet i la Gornal, and a 12th<\/sup>-century church dedicated to St. Peter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

El Balc\u00f3 del Pened\u00e8s, Font-rub\u00ed<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Miravinya route ends at Balc\u00f3 del Pened\u00e8s, \u201cthe Balcony of the Pened\u00e8s,\u201d near the village of Font-rub\u00ed. The vine landscape stands out here, but with a special addition: the Mediterranean Sea. From here, we recommend visiting the Shrine of La Mare de D\u00e9u de Foix, in Torrelles, one of the oldest churches in Catalonia. If you\u2019ve done one of the mountain bike routes we suggested, we\u2019re sure you already know it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In short, this is a route covering 5 wonderfully remarkable viewpoints that will give you a leisurely look at an area we sometimes don\u2019t pay enough attention to.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
