Sant Sadurní D'Anoia
Sant Sadurní d'Anoia is a municipality in the ''comarca'' of the Alt Penedès in Catalonia, Spain; and the centre of production of a sparkling wine known as '' cava''. It is situated in the north-east of the Penedès Depression at the confluence of the Avernó river and the Anoia river. It is made accessible by the A-7 ''autopista'' and the RENFE railway line (R4) that connect Barcelona with Manresa and El Vendrell. The ''noucentista'' buildings of the Codorníu ''cava'' house on the edge of the town were designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
