Itinerary

Take an air-conditioned coach from our Barcelona office to Montserrat. Take the cogwheel train up the mountain and take in the breathtaking views of the surroundings after an hour-long trip on the highway. Appreciate the unique morphology of the Mountain, which combines the terms serrat (serrated) and mont (mountain) in Catalan. Known for its rugged terrain, the stunning scenery of Montserrat was designated as a National Park in 1987 to preserve its rich natural and cultural heritage.

Discover the site's history and the Monastery's architectural style by following your local guide. In Montserrat, there is currently a community of eighty monks who live under the rule of Saint Benedict. Love the sanctuary's and the basilica's Gothic and Renaissance elements. Discover the story behind the alleged miraculous appearance of the Black Madonna and Child in the Santa Cova cave. Their woodcarving is conserved in the monastery's church, which you are welcome to see. Because of a varnish reaction, the figure is called La Moreneta, or The Black Madonna, in popular culture.

You may explore a plethora of little chapels and trails in addition to the main area. After our guided tour, you'll have free time to shop for locally made goods, visit the audio-visual display, see the Black Madonna and basilica and receive a free gift, or sample the best liquors.
