Catalonia has some beautiful countryside and historic towns to explore. The Pyrenees are just a couple of hours away and in between there are many more places to visit.

STA Excursions can be found just off Plaça Reial at C/ Vidre 7, or visit their web page and arrange a trip in advance.

They also run trips to the vineyards in El Penedes, visiting some of the smaller bodegas which are usually closed to the public.
