How about leaving the finca for a night away ? Fancy a little bit of culture? A night in a beautiful city with the most amazing views of Barcelona´s marina?

Well, a very handy e-newsletter arrived this morning offering you that opportunity, Don´t you just love checking your email before having your breakfast under the mulberry trees on your terrace?

Places are reported to be limited for what is promised to be a very exclusive evening. The Spanish and Catalans are very proud of their wine and cordially invite their International community to join in and sample 7 very different wines. Along the way you will learn the art of wine tasting (not the way I did in Napa Valley!), be introduced to other EXPATS and locals, over devouring exquisite cuisine.

Where is all this happening? It will be on the roof top terrace of “The Hotel 54 Barceloneta “, Skyline Terraza, Passeig Joan de Borbo´ 54, Barcelona.

Read an interesting article in Spanish “Pinotxo en la Barceloneta” about this hotel that appeared in the Lavanguardia newspress:

The morning after, before heading back home ,why not spend some time on the wonderful San Sebastian beach that is close by; or stroll along the Las Ramblas; do some retail therapy in those nifty boutiques.

But whatever you do , visit their website ( it is in Espanol and English ) as it displays some beautiful views of the marina..worth a peek just for that unique views of the harbour and the city skyline.
