Description

The experience begins in heart of Eixample neighborhood, where you will set off to explore the natural beauty of Montserrat, one of Catalonia's most iconic mountains.

Upon arrival, your guide will take you through the history of the Monastery, founded in the 10th century and still active today with over 70 monks.
