Yesterday I drove to the Priorat region, two hours south of Barcelona which produces some of the best wines from the country. I spent the night at some friend's home at La Vilella Baixa, one of the smallest villages in the area. The picture above is the view I have from my room window.
I decided to leave the city with plenty of time and I had the chance to take some pictures of the region before reaching the village.
The area is quite hilly with mountains down south. As you get into the region you start seeing the buildings of the wineries and the crops all over the hills.
When I reached the small village, my friends were not still there so I took some time to walk around and take some shots.
As it is a hilly area, you can find some steep streets
One of the houses had a welcome sign in Catalan which means "God take care of you"
I encountered a witch parking in one of the streets with all the brooms hanging on it.
It was on Church Street, where the priest also used to have its house.
Here's the church building from behind with a wind meter on the top.
As I reached the center of the village I found a small local wine shop, it was closed but you could see a bunch of empty bottles at the entrance.
Once the sun came down and everything started getting dark, the image of the village changed completely offering a nice view with some of the lights
I definitely will come back to the area to spend some more time in the future.
