Exploring the Montserrat mountain

Trying to find the Holy Grail in the walls of the Benedictine Abbey of Montserrat, the Napoleonic troops destroyed most of the original building, but standing there looking at what was left and rebuilt will take your breath away.

Located about an hour’s train ride from Barcelona, the area of the Montserrat mountain is an incredible natural park and spiritual spot in Catalonia and is a must-visit. You can also reach the top of the mountain by cable car!

The Sanctuary of Montserrat offers incredible history, unique stories, and the most spectacular mountain views. It is also the location of the world-famous Black Virgin, sometimes referred to as The Virgin of Monsterrat and La Moreneta.

The Art Museum of Montserrat will definitely provide you with memories to last a lifetime with paintings by Degas, Monet, Dali and Picasso. This huge collection of artistic masterpieces from the 13th to the 20th centuries is just another reason to visit Montserrat while in Barcelona.

Make the most of your experience by taking a tour and exploring the cornerstones of Catalan culture. Then enjoy a Montserrat wine-tasting tour, where you will taste exquisite wines and be educated on the winemaking process, and then satisfy your palate with a tapas lunch.
