We took a day trip to the walled city of Montblanc and the close by Monastery of Poblet. Montblanc is a very real and working town inside the walls. It's nice to see a medieval town that hasn't been completely touristicated. The Monastery has been restored and can only be toured with a guide. It's totally surrounded by vineyards and there are monks still in residence. There are some incredible alabaster sarcophagi containing the remains of various kings and queens of Aragon-Catalunya.
