This was a really cool trip.  The Penafiel Castle built in the 10th century, is the coolest Spanish castle I have ever seen although we did not go inside.  Protos Wines are some of the best in Spain.  They started in 1927 so this is their 90th Anniversary.  

Check out the stork's nest at 2:25

We get to the winery at 5:00

Be sure to check out the traditional Spanish lunch at El Lagar De San Vicente starting at 12:00 

and the walk through the town trying to find the restaurant starting at 7:00

I think there is a wine museum in the castle now.  The extensive tunnel network below the castle is perfect for keeping the wine barrels at the perfect temperature and humidity.  Most of the tunnels were dug by Protos but they did find some ancient ones that were built when the castle was built.  I think the humidity stays around 85% and the temp is 53 degrees F.  It was very cool, literally and figuratively.

NOTE: I had to repost because of some copyright issues with songs on the radio.
