The footprints of the ‘Hive’

Combined visit to the CIARGA and Serral air raid shelter + Nadal Cellars

As a result of the collaboration between Santa Margarida i els Monjos Town Council and Nadal cellars, we present a sensory experience with content, a pairing activity that combines the historical memory, oenology and gastronomy of the Penedès.

The activity sets off from the Interpretation Centre of Republican Aviation and Air Warfare (CIARGA) and the Serral air raid shelter in Santa Margarida i els Monjos, a unique, benchmark museographic facility, where we will discover the mark left on the municipality by the Civil War and, in particular, Republican aviation, with the construction of the airfield, the aircraft assembly workshops and one of the best preserved shelters.

Then we will go to Nadal cellars where, still present among the vineyards, we will discover the remains of the old Sabanell airfield that, together with that of els Monjos, was part of the network known as Vesper de la Gloriosa (Hive of the Glorious). Here we will get to know the history of the winery, we will visit the cellar and the old warehouse used as a hangar during the war, and a wine tasting session will be offered, all in the intimate setting of the farm, in the midst of the unmistakable Penedès landscape.
