Morning light splits the rows of vines and the mountain of Montserrat keeps a slow watch on the horizon — you step from an air-conditioned minivan into a limestone-strewn patch of Mediterranean scrub and carefully arranged trellises. The route follows dirt tracks and farm lanes through El Penedès, where the landscape alternates between sunbaked slopes, olive trees, and low stone walls that mark centuries of cultivation.
