Embark on an unforgettable journey to Montserrat, a place where history, spirituality, and nature converge harmoniously. Visit the Benedictine Monastery, ride Sant Joan Funicular up the Mountain and hike the trails of Montserrat.

After a comfortable 1-hour drive in an air-conditioned minivan, you’ll arrive at Montserrat. Your day begins with a visit to the Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat, where you’ll learn about its rich history. The name “Montserrat” translates to “sawed mountain” in Catalan, a nod to its unique, multi-peaked rocky range. The site is renowned for its Benedictine Monastery, home to the famous Black Madonna, “La Moreneta,” the patron saintness of Catalonia.

After visiting the Montserrat Monastery ascend to the top of the mountain via the Sant Joan Funicular Cable Car. This ride takes you 300 meters (1000 feet) up, offering stunning views of the monastery from above. On clear days, you can even see Barcelona and the Pyrenees Mountains in the distance.

Prepare for a scenic hike along a beautiful trail that winds through the distinctive, needle-like rock formations of the mountain. Along the way, you’ll pass several viewpoints with breathtaking vistas of the monastery and the unique landscape.

Your expert local guide will share insights about the mountain’s natural wonders, from its diverse flora and fauna to its fascinating geology. The hike will be mostly downhill along shady trails, meandering through forested areas, ultimately bringing you back to the Abbey where you will have free time for exploring on your own: enjoy the scenic vistas, visit the farmers market or do a local liquors tasting before heading back to Barcelona.
