There are places on Earth that seem to be taken from a fairy tale, and the same is true of this magical place just one hour from Barcelona. Surrounded by vineyards and presenting us with a great plan to go with friends, family or as a couple (anything goes when it comes to tasting good wines), this town will leave no one indifferent. We talk about The vellajust 60 kilometers west of the city of Barcelona and where we find some wonderful vineyards that will transport us to Tuscany.
Surrounded by mountains with significant extensions of forest, numerous natural springs and under the watchful eye of the Montserrat mountain range, L’Avellà appears as a small town with a wide range of leisure activities.
What to do in L’Avella? Three plans for this Christmas (and for the rest of the year)
Not because it is small, this town offers us less alternatives to spend the day -not at all-. The options are so many and so varied, that staying to sleep becomes a weekend plan.
Explore some of its caves lost in the forest
If spending a weekend at home locked up at home does not go with your way of being, here is a perfect alternative to go out and enjoy nature. Near this place we find endless caves ready to explore that will bring out the explorer in you. Shepherd’s Cave, sand cave either mine cave are an example (among many others).
Enjoy the best wine as if you were in Tuscany
It is not necessary to go to Italy to enjoy Tuscany, because in Font-rubí we find MontRubía family winery where organically grown high-altitude wines are produced in a idyllic setting.
Whether it is to do a tasting of your selection of wines; taste a market cuisine, full of flavor and paying homage to the seasonal product, or staying at its boutique hotel Great House 1771this place is perfect to spend the whole weekend and live a unique experience.

Delve into the forest and find the Hermitage of Sant Andreu
Following the innate explorer style that is in our being, here is a perfect excursion to spend half a day. The Hermitage of Sant Andreu is part of MontRubí and is about a 30-minute walk from there. Although it is partially demolished, it has been restored and you can see a balcony right next to it, facing the spectacular vineyards. Perfect spot for a picnic or enjoying nature.
