Itinerary

  1. Abadia De Montserrat

    2 hours Admission included

    Start your day by visiting the Benedictine Monastery and discover its amazing history. Montserrat literally means “sawed mountain” in Catalan, and it is called this due to its multi-peaked rocky range. This is the holly mountain of the Catalans and home of the "Black Madonna" a XIV century romanesque sculpture of the Virgin Mary, patron saintness of the Catalans.

  2. Montserrat Mountains

    2 hours

    Once you have visited the Benedictine monastery, get to Sant Joan Funicular and ride it up the mountain to enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views over the multi-peaked rocky range and the monastery. From here we will try to spot Barcelona and the Pyrenees.
