Barcelona Knits & Beyond: A Surreal Knitting Adventure in Catalonia

Join us for an 8 night tour through Catalonia with 4 nights in Barcelona and attendance at Barcelona Knits! 
Barcelona is a feast for the eyes and the imagination!  Famous for its modernist architecture with the Sagrada Familia by Gaudi as its iconic symbol, Modernism and Art Nouveau are everywhere you turn in this magical city. Color and fluidity abound as architects here have disdained straight lines and draped their creations with phantasmagorical mosaics and curves reminiscent of fabrics and crazy quilts. We can’t think of a better showcase for a yarn festival - a celebration of color and the drape of our own creative imaginings!  But while we are in Catalonia, we will not confine ourselves to Barcelona… We will venture into the countryside to meet heritage breed sheep and wool producers and dyers working to keep the pastoral traditions alive. We will venture to the edge of our imaginations when we visit the house and collections of Salvador Dali - if Barcelona architecture itself is not surreal, we will discover what is!  And we will learn why Catalonia sets itself apart as an autonomous community of Spain, with a wine tasting and some fantastic Catalan food along the way.
