Spanish Wine.

After the passing of the repressive tyrant Fransisco Franco in 1975, things modified in Spain in a big fashion in Spanish society. In the mid 1980s Spain invested in modern viticultural and wine-making systems using up to the minute apparatus and processes. Today, the quality controls monitoring by Spains controlling council is more stringent than those in other ECU wine-producing nations. Rioja was the epitome of fine red Spanish wine for generations and can still be amazing. Riojas personality relies on long-ageing in Yankee oak. It is found in the northern area of Ribera del Duero.

It produces 3 wines, basically from the Tempranillo grape. But other Spanish regions are now challenging their dominance in the wine world. At the entrance you can first see the decorative dragon fountain in front of the steps which lead up to the park. The entrance itself is really superb masterwork that invites visitors do discover other parts of the Park Guell. Gaudi was strongly influenced by natural shapes thus he used it in his work too.

You will find different multicolored mosaic seats on where to rest your feet, and which are totally worth of seeing. Next to the patio area is a large square which is also preferred place for organising different cultural events. Now the house has been converted to museum where you can admire Gaudis designed furniture. When entering to the park is free, then for visiting la Torre Rosa you would need to pay some entrance fee. The best way to get to the park is to go by metro. After getting out from the metro station, its just matter of following the street signs leading to the park. The opening hours are from 10.00 to 19.00 but during Xmas and New Years period it would alter. If you would like to get additional info about the apartment-hostel then visit their web site +barcelona . Back in those days, it was actually the only wine experience most Brit visitors had.
