Last Friday, 19 September, we held our Route & Lunch III, an experience that once again brought together our most distinguished customers and their Aston Martins.
After meeting at our facilities and conducting a rigorous briefing in which our colleagues discussed the route we had chosen, a convoy of the brand’s latest models, including two DBX707s, a DB12 and an exclusive Vantage, set off for a picturesque restaurant, Cal Garretá, located in the middle of a unique setting next to Estany de Graugés, where we stopped to recharge our batteries and prepare for the more than 130 kilometres of curves that awaited us.
We set off again, driving along the road that circles the Pantá de Baells lake, and continued towards Planoles, along a road where, in some sections, the beautiful colours of autumn were already beginning to show. Here, curve after curve, all the Aston Martins filled the Serra de Picancel with their sound, leaving a melody in their wake that was well worth listening to. We continued towards Ripoll, and there, after taking the Eix Pirinenc, we headed towards the famous Collada de Toses, a road known for being one of the first in Catalonia to experience the first frosts and snowfalls in winter.
Once we reached the La Molina ski resort, we made a short stop to photograph all the Aston Martins against the backdrop of the landscape, as well as to take a break from the exciting drive we had just completed. We continued on our way, and now we headed to the Ca la Núria Restaurant, located in the small but beautiful village of Bellver de la Cerdanya.
Núria, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and seated us in a private room chosen for the occasion, where she treated us to an exquisite tasting menu consisting of seven courses and a dessert, accompanied, of course, by the perfect pairing of signature wines.
Once again, this Route & Lunch brought together a group of people who share the same passion for Aston Martin as we do, with whom we share not only a love of driving, but also the pleasure of spending a day in which our brand is the perfect common thread.
