Wine production in Catalonia has vastly improved in recent times. Species of wine grapes have been carefully selected and subsequently used, resulting in better tasting and higher quality vintage. Also, foreign vines of great regard have been transplanted to Catalan soil. The locally made popular sparkling wine known as cava has some distinction as a specialty. Whatever the occasion, or whatever one's taste in liquor, drinking in Girona is a very important social activity - one that finds practice every single day! In Spain, more than anywhere else in Europe, the local bar is a place for eating and drinking as much as it is a sort of community center. It goes without saying that any form of alcoholic drink is an important part of every meal.
