Bodegas Güell: Dine In Gaudí's Winery

There are lots of amazing wineries around the world. These wineries make incredible wines, of course, but there are also plenty of them that are works of art in their own right. There are lots that are housed in old villas or fascinating new architectural gems, sprawling estates, or stunning natural surroundings.

Yet, among all of these, the most extraordinary of all has to be the incredible Bodegas Güell. Sadly, it is no longer actually a winery but it is still a restaurant that can be visited to this day and is a rarity: a winery designed by Antoni Gaudí.

If you like incredible museums and great views then you need to find a vacation rental in Barcelona and take a day trip to the seaside beautiful town of Sitges, where you will find the rather special Maricel Museum.

The Maricel Museum, or Museu de Maricel, is located in the Maricel Palace and traces its origins to 1969, when the Barcelona Provincial Corporation bought the building to house the collection of Doctor Jesús Pérez-Rosales, who had been a well known gynaecologist and an avid art collector. The museum was then opened to the public in 1970, with over 3,000 items on display, including Romanesque murals, Gothic paintings on wood, Renaissance carvings and altarpieces, sculptures, items of furniture, precious metals, ceramics, porcelain and many works that chart Spanish art from the 12th century to the 20th century. In 1995 the Maricel Museum was also made home to the "Vila de Sitges" collection of art, about fifty works by local Sitges in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Parc de la Ciutadella is a 19th century park located at the heart of Barcelona that is known as the city's “green lung”. Composed of a small lake, large areas of greenery and plenty of surprises and little gems along the way, it is the perfect place to spend some time and take a breather from running between tourist attractions. If you have found a vacation rental in Barcelona, be sure to pencil in some time relaxing in this lovely park.

In 1869, the military citadel at the heart of the city was demolished and a park was planned as Barcelona made a bid to host the 1888 Universal Exhibition. Designed by architect Josep Fontseré to fit the needs of the world fair, it is still littered with reminders of this times, such as the Castell dels Tres Dragons, home to the original restaurant designed for the exhibition by Domènech i Montaner, the waterfall and lake that were designed by Fontseré, the beautiful plant house, and the glass house. The park is also home to Barcelona's Zoo, which was established in 1892.

Art-lovers will always find great works of art to admire if they book a villa in Spain, almost anywhere in the country – from famous and historic galleries displaying art from throughout history like the Prado in Madrid, to museums dedicated to one iconic and beloved artist like the one for Salvador Dalí in his home-town of Figueres, to churches filled with painted and sculpted masterpieces, to the astounding architectural gems dotting the streets in the likes of Barcelona. Of course, there are also temporary exhibitions, special events, and other art events that make particular times and destinations especially appealing for the art fan considering a vacation in Spain.

This year, for example, is a great time for those who love the work of Joan Miró to book a holiday rental in Catalonia and visit Barcelona as the fifty-year anniversary of the Joan Miró Foundation sees this already fascinating gallery play host to a whole year of special events celebrating this great artist...

Maybe you managed to get away this summer but you still find yourself in need of a break once again or perhaps you never got a chance to plan a vacation and you're now considering an autumn getaway in Spain – no matter what the case is, it is a perfect time to plan an off-season trip to Spain! Due to the slow start to the key summer tourism period this year and the lack of much of one at all last year, Spanish companies and authorities are keen to promote travel in the region. As a result, there are lots of plans in motion at the moment to further enhance the autumn calendar of events for tourists, offer deals for travellers, and extend the summer season as much as is possible! So, get browsing our vacation rentals in Spain and make the most of it.

Those who love architecture will not need to be told that a vacation rental in Barcelona and time spent exploring all that the city has to offer is a must at some point in your life, a major item to tick off the bucket list. And, of course, traces of Gaudi can famously be found all over the city. However, his are not the only architectural gems to be discovered while on holiday in Catalonia. There are many others, some dating back hundreds and hundreds of years and some much more recent additions. However, if you have an interest in architecture and you plan on coming to see Barcelona, then one of the key attractions to make sure you set aside some time for is Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe and Lilly Reich’s Barcelona Pavilion.
