familia_placa-8261alta.jpg

The capital of the Alt Penedès, Vilafranca is one of the most important medium-sized towns in Catalonia, due to its strategic location. It has known how to combine its mediaeval nobility with new tendencies, and has become a modern shopping, cultural and services centre, in which the wine culture is present in all kinds of manifestations: architecture, industry and cultural activities.
