Save a few hours to gaze at blue skies from Barcelona’s most wonderful mountain. 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, hence the mountain’s silhouette. 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.
On this small-group Montserrat tour by minivan of up to 7 people, our 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.
Upon arriving at Montserrat, there will be an introductory tour of the mountain and its main highlights, so you can then decide how to enjoy the free time.
The tour includes admission to the Basilica, access to the Throne of the Black Madonna, and listening to the choir of children singing. The children usually perform from Monday to Friday. There could be exceptions though and some days there may be no performance without prior notice.
