Training visit: Bacardí house


As I've mentioned other times, low-season is a time to refresh knowledge and learn new things and tools for my tours.

Some weeks ago I joined a special training visit to Casa Bacardí, the newly open showroom in Sitges about the world-wide known rhum company, that was actually founded by a humble man born in Sitges. Now the company wants to honour his origins and has created a museum in collaboration with the local town council that has allowed them to use the old market building.

During the visit we not only learnt about the live of the founder, Facundo Bacardí Massó, and the history of the brand, but we also discovered how rhum is produced and... they thaught us how to make a real mojito!

It's a great way to complement any trip to Sitges. Let me take you on a excursion there!
