Half Day Tour to Montserrat

Start time: 8:00 am approx

• Take a break from sightseeing in the city and join us on this exciting adventure to one of the most mysterious and magical places in Catalonia with our expert guides.
• We travel in small groups, allowing you to enjoy a more personalized experience with our bilingual guide, who will provide you with an expert local insight into our most ingrained cultural traditions.
• We will pick you up at your accommodation and take a comfortable private transport up to the mountain of Montserrat. This magnificent 4,000-foot wonder is easily recognizable from afar by its "jagged" top from which it gets its name.
• And 700 meters above sea level, the Benedictine monastery of Santa María de Montserrat enjoys an impressive location, surrounded by an unforgettable natural landscape. The monastery has served as a spiritual retreat center for almost a thousand years.
• First we will visit the basilica, where the Virgin Santa María de Montserrat, Patroness of Catalonia, is located. The Romanesque statue of "the Black Virgin" is originally from the 12th century and today it is surrounded by a gilded altar.
• According to legend, the Virgin appeared personally in the 9th century, giving rise to the hermitage of Santa María.
• Next, our group will take a walking tour around the monastery.
• Enjoy the unparalleled views offered by this region, declared a Natural Park in 1987. A musical gift will conclude our mystical visit to Montserrat: we will hear the angelic voices of La Escolania de Montserrat, one of the oldest children's choirs in Europe (subject to availability seasonal).
• With your local guide, return to Barcelona in a comfortable, modern van.
