Description
Save a few hours to gaze at blue skies from Barcelona’s most wonderful mountain, barely one hour away from the city center. People call it in different ways – Montserrat, the Magical Mountain – but there’s one thing that everybody agrees on: its breathtaking beauty.
Montserrat was once completely covered by ice, and when it melted, the water drew the mountain’s silhouette. But mysticism here goes beyond the shapes: in the 9th century, one of the few black madonnas was found buried in a cave in Montserrat: the Moreneta.
A monastery was built on top of the mountain and since then, it’s a spot where all Catholics want to be at least once in a lifetime. Faith, nature, and amazing landscapes come together for a unique experience near Barcelona. Take this half or full-day Montserrat tour from Barcelona and enjoy a morning amid nature!
On this small-group Montserrat tour by minivan of up to 7 people, your local guide will introduce the story of this icon of nature, as well as its main sights and pathways. Once at the top, you’ll have two hours of free time to see the Basilica, trek, or just have a relaxed picnic enjoying the scenic views before returning to Barcelona.
