Full description
After 50-minute drive from Barcelona we first visit the Benedictine Abbey, first built on the 11th century and home to Catalonia’s Patroness Saint, The Black Madonna, a strong symbol of spirituality and unity for the local people. After, we hike up to the top, from where we enjoy the stunning views from the Natural Park of Montserrat and the rest of Catalonia from a bird´s eye view. Mediterranean Sea, main valley of the country and the Pyrenees further away, drawing the border with France. During the hike we will walk on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago, we will get inspired by Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna and we will experience unique ways where rocky pillars and ravines show us how inner mysterious water emerge from the hidden and undiscovered very center of the massif. Back down in the Monastery area, we have some free time where you can browse amongst regional products in the local farmer’s market before we head back to Barcelona.

The tour was a highlight during our visit in Barcelona. We got to enjoy both the historical side and natural side of Catalonia. We could feel the love of the guides toward Monserrat and the Catalonia region. They were attentive, careful and very knowledgeable. Another plus side is they only do small group tour, so it felt cosy, we could get to know each other and talk among the group. The hike itself wasn’t really difficult, there were some steep uphills but not many. Highly recommend doing this hike if you’re in Barcelona.

We were a small group of three when we went there and Uni took a very great care of every one of us. He was punctual for the pick up, told us lots of interesting facts during the drive and tried to accommodate to everyone's fitness level during the hike. We also got some free time to roam around the place for a quick lunch and some souvenir shopping etc. Plus Uni is a great conversationalist, so he'll make you feel comfortable in no time. As a female solo traveller I highly recommend this experience to others!
