One highly recommended tour is of the Castell d’Encús winery: not just any winery, but one that is exceptional combination of the old and the new. For example, some of its wine is still aged in the rock caves originally created for the same purpose by the Knights Templar.
In Senterada: La Fàbrica, a former textile mill offering guided tours and weaving and felt-making courses.

‘such a different approach . putting no strain on the body and allowing the process to come from within . the being slow allows you to find your centre and where it comes from . its gorgeous . the way you explain it. you are able to find it for your self, with your guidance. you’re not relying on just copying someone else’
— Aishling , student on retreat
