What to expect
Embark on a half-day adventure to Montserrat, a stunning mountain range just outside Barcelona, famous for its striking rock formations and the Montserrat Monastery. On a guided tour, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding Catalan countryside, visit the revered Black Madonna statue, and explore the serene monastery, which dates back to the 12th century. Montserrat is a must for nature lovers, history buffs, and those seeking spiritual peace.
Things to look out for
The Royal Basilica of Montserrat is located up in the mountain of Montserrat, a peak which rises majestically to 4,051 feet (1,236 meters). It is located inside a Benedictine monastery founded in 1025 and is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the country. It provides a mystical backdrop for the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia who is enshrined in the monastery’s Royal Basilica. Even if you are not the religious type, you will enjoy the breathtaking views of this mountaintop sanctuary. You can also sample the selection of liquors made on site.
Helpful Tips
Please wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking involved in the tour. Kindly observe the dress code when visiting the monastery. Shoulders and knees should be covered for both men and women, and sandals are not allowed. If you're lucky, you can get a chance to hear the La Escolania children's choir sing with their angelic voices.
