Recycle Race

Recycle Race: Catalonia

If you're searching for a truly tranquil escape in the Spanish countryside, this is your place. Resting in the sleepy town of Penedés, it constantly exudes an air of true peace and privacy. Sit in the luscious outdoor space, staring out across the green horizon, and you'll feel like the only people in Catalonia.

That outdoor space is where you'll probably spend most of your time. The lush expanse of greenery is decorated with patches of colourful flowers, a glistening pool and a dreamy seating area. Spend your days moseying between the pool and sofas, topping up your glass with a fresh drink each time.

A pirate's den and trampoline keep the children entertained, whilst the secluded benches are an idyllic spot to while away the hours with a book. For meal times, gather under the pergola or dine on the deluxe indoor table.

If you did want to feel the energy of a city, Barcelona is just forty minutes away. Take a day trip to the charming metropolis for hours on the beach or evenings sampling the top-class restaurants.
