What’s On in Barcelona Autumn 2012

Autumn is always an event-ful time in Barcelona for concerts , exhibitions and shows so we’ve rounded up some of the best around town…

For 44 years Barcelona has played host to an increasingly popular annual jazz festival. This year the music gets going on 30^th October until 30^th November in venues across town. Once again, there is a great line-up with performances from the likes of Sonny Rollins, Melody Gardot, Samantha de Siena and the Buena Vista Social Club Orchestra. You need to buy individual tickets for each event – there is not one ticket that covers the whole event. Venues vary from the grand Palau de la Musica to small smoky bars like Jamboree and Harlem Jazz Club.

The Liceu Theatre offers some enticing opera and ballet in the run-up to Christmas including the Barber of Seville and The Nutcracker. For tickets go to

Japanese cooking is the star of this year’s edition of the Manga Fair which is moving to Barcelona for the first time. From 1st to 4th November, the Palau 2 of the Fira de Barcelona in Montjuïc will be the venue for this gathering, renowned in the world of Manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese animation). The main reason why the fair has abandoned its usual venue in Hospitalet de Llobregat is the need to cater for the increasing number of visitors. For more information go to Manga festival Barcelona

A trip to the wine producing region of Penedès in Catalonia; the perfect holiday.

The area of Penedès; just an hour south of Barcelona is one of the most exciting wine regions in Spain, famous for its production of that delectable drink that is…Cava; that sparkling white and rosé that so often gets called to the table where no excuse nor explaining is needed. But in addition to this world renowned treat within our fridges, the Penedès region also prides itself upon the production of many dry reds, dry whites and dessert wines.

As well as its fame among the wine aficionados, this region has the sheer ability to appeal to a further audience; reaching out to those architecturally minded with works from the likes of Gaudi, Cadalfach and Domenech i Montaner. Reverting back to the brief discussion of that admired beverage ‘Cava’; here in the Penedès region some of the best boutique Cava companies include Raventos Blanc, Gramona and Pares Balta; while Freixenet and Codorniu are the two largest Cava companies. The latter of this mouthwatering list, namely; Freixenet and Codorniu have not allowed their size nor success to affect the appearance nor special feeling of their cellars. These cellars, dating back to the 1800s really are something worthy of a visit; and the village of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia is said to be home to the production of 85% of Spain’s Cava production….somewhere surely deserving a visit and maybe a taste of their success! Really make the most of a trip to Catalonia this year and centre it around experiencing the wines that it offers so well.

Why not stay in this fantastic 7 bedroom villa in the heart of the Penedes region that will truly provide you with an authentic experience with your own vineyard in the private garden. This really would make a lovely holiday where you would be able to further your knowledge of the Penedès wine region as well as to completely unwind from the pressures of daily life. An alternative for that perfect 2011 holiday with that added special and unique element that only being immersed in the heart of a fabulous wine region can offer, is this 11 bedroom Catalan manor house surrounded by vineyards and enjoying wonderful views; creating the perfect wine influenced holiday.
