The Experience

You step out of the elevator and suddenly you’re up above Barcelona—Plaza Catalunya right there, rooftops stretching out like a patchwork. I remember the first thing I noticed was the hum of the city below mixing with this weirdly peaceful breeze. Our guide, Marta, handed me a glass of cava before I’d even set my bag down. Not complaining. She grinned and said something about “starting as we mean to go on.” The bubbles tasted sharp and bright—like someone had put sunshine in a glass. There were already people laughing at the far end of the terrace. I didn’t know anyone yet but it felt like that wouldn’t last long.

We tried six different Spanish wines during this rooftop wine tasting in Barcelona—cava, whites from Rueda and Galicia (one smelled like green apples, which surprised me), then a rosé that looked almost too pretty to drink. Marta told us little stories about each region; she made it feel less like a lesson and more like gossiping over drinks. She showed us how to swirl the glass “just enough,” but not so much you spill (I almost did). There were snacks too—olives, manchego, those tiny breadsticks that crunch just right when you’re two glasses in.

I liked how nobody cared if you didn’t know anything about tannins or whatever. One guy asked if he could just say “this one’s good” instead of describing flavors—Marta laughed and said that’s basically what most locals do anyway. By the time we got to the reds (one from Rioja, one from somewhere I can’t pronounce), the sun was sliding behind Casa Batlló and everything turned gold for a minute. Someone put on music quietly in the background; honestly, I still think about that view sometimes when I’m back home opening some random supermarket bottle.
