Located in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Casa Vicens is the final Gaudí World Heritage site building to admit public visitors. The building was the artist’s first residential construction, built as a summer home between 1883 and 1885 for wealthy industrialist Manel Vicens. Not only was Casa Vicens the starting point of Gaudí’s career, the property is different to anything that had been built in the region previously. The construction is graphic, geometric and unique, and has undergone three years of extensive renovations in preparation for its opening as a museum. www.casavicens.org @ Casa Vicens. @ Turisme de Barcelona. Gaudí’s Casa Vicens ‘The Fifth Lake’, top circular hiking route ‘The Fifth Lake’ is a new circular hiking route through the Catalan Pyrenees, divided into five stages, starting and ending in La Pobla de Segur. It combines undiscovered and breath-taking landscapes, charming accommodation and top quality mountain Catalan cuisine. Covering more than 100km, the route passes several lakes, including Montcortès. This new route has proved popular and was awarded the “Best Product in Active Tourism” in the 2017 Fitur awards. www.elcinquellac.com 5 Catalan Tourist Board Nordic Countries @ El Cinquè Llac. Landscapes from the Fifth Lake route El Cinquè Llac New route launches, combing the falles and Romanesque art and architecture The Romanesque Centre of Vall de Boí has recently announced the ‘Romanesque art and architecture and falles’ route.

Throughout summer, travellers can discover the legacy of the valley’s medieval past set against the backdrop of spectacular scenery on these trips. The Alta Ribagorça District Council has also signposted the “Paths of Fire” routes for self-guided tours. These 10 routes start at the beacon where the falles are lit and continue down into the mountainside. 2017 record year for Fruit Tourism in Lleida Fruiturisme, a project launched to promote fruit tourism in Catalonia, allows visitors to witness the blossoming peach trees in fields of Aitona while discovering the cultural and architectural heritage of El Segrià county.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

Los compromisos aceptados en el momento de la inclusión, entre ellos los planes de gestión, son a menudo olvidados o sometidos en todo caso a proyectos urbanos poco sensibles con el patrimonio y veleidosos respecto a una pretendida modernización urbana o a la simple especulación inmobiliaria. Palabras clave: Patrimonio Mundial. Gestión del Patrimonio. Lista del Patrimonio Mundial. Paisaje Urbano. Abstract The inclusion in the World Heritage List has been frequently assumed in Spain as a challenge to turn localities and territories into attractive destinies inside the emergent field of cultural tourism; however, the spirit of the List, that grants more responsibilities than privileges, is relegated to a background. The commitments accepted at the moment of the inclusion, among them the creation of appropriate management plans, are often forgotten or put under urban projects little respectful with heritage or even harmful to it, since their main aims are usually a pretended urban modernization or the simple real estate speculation.

  • Premium Wine Club
    PREMIUM WINE CLUB March 2020 2015 Portal del Priorat Gotes Blanques Priorat, Spain Tiny and entirely composed of craggy, jagged and deeply terraced vineyards, Priorat is a Catalan wine-producing region that was virtually abandoned until the early 1990s. Its renaissance came with the arrival of one man, René Barbier, who recognized the region’s forgotten potential. He banded with five friends to create five “Clos” in the village of Gratallops. Their aim was to revive some of Priorat’s ancient Carignan vines, as well as to plant new—mainly French—varieties. These winemakers were technically skilled, well-trained and locally inspired; not surprisingly, their results were a far cry from the few rustic and overly fermented wines already produced. This movement escalated Priorat’s popularity for a few reasons. Its new wines were modern and made with well-recognized varieties, namely old Carignan and Grenache blended with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. When the demand arrived, scarcity commanded higher prices and as the region discovered its new acclaim, investors came running from near and far. Within ten years, the area under vine practi- cally doubled. One of Catalonia’s emerging superstars, Alfredo Arribas was a nationally renowned architect before shifting his focus to farming and winemaking fifteen years ago. He is known for making some of the most elegant wines in Priorat and Montsant. Alfredo Arribas’ Portal del Priorat estate is composed of about 150 acres in Priorat and 50 acres in Southern Montsant. Many of these vines are on original rootstock and pushing 100 years in age. Gotes translates to “droplets” in Catalan, and as you would expect, like droplets, these wines are all about freshness.
