Activity Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at Estación de Francia to begin our journey to the Montserrat Monastery. On board a comfortable coach, you can gaze out at the wondrous landscape illuminated by the first rays of sunlight. The road to Montserrat winds up to 720 metres above sea level to offer unparalleled views.
Once there, you'll have free time to explore Montserrat at your own pace and enter the monastery. If you decide to enter the abbey, you will discover the great cultural and natural riches that it houses, and learn that it forms part of The Marian Route, which links it to other sanctuaries such as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. You'll see that this architectural complex is split into two areas - the monastic quarters and another designated to pilgrims and visitors.
After spending the morning in Montserrat, we'll meet up again before heading back to Barcelona.

If you choose this option, you'll enjoy the same activity described above, and you'll have admission to the Basilica of Montserrat included. This temple, located within the monastery complex of the Montserrat mountain, is home to the sculpture of the Virgin of Montserrat, popularly known as La Morenata for its dark face.
