Vilafranca del Penedes

Today I woke up late and decided to go exploring on my own. I took a train (about an hour) to a town called Vilafranca del Penedes--Penedes is Spanish for the Pyrenees mountain. I didn't make any plans, and didn't know what to expect. I figured I would just get there and start asking people what I should see etc. I picked this town because it is the considered the center of the wine production of Cataluna, and also is very close to the center of Cava production (Spain's version of champagne) and I had heard it was a pretty town. I did find some interesting things, including an old church and I stepped into some of the wine retail shops, but altogether the city wasn't overly impressive. I brought the train back just in time to follow the Broncos game on my computer as they lost to the Jaguars. Oh well.
