Highlights
  • Casa Mila - La Pedrera - Gaudi’s Catalan art nouveau masterpiece with a quarry-like facade, hosting exhibitions and concerts.

  • Passeig de Gracia - Begin this tour directly from your hotel or apartment in Barcelona. We will pick you up, so please provide your exact location. Enjoy a comprehensive overview of Barcelona, passing by Catalunya Square, Barcelona Cathedral, Passeig de Gracia, and the Gaudi Houses, including Batllo and Pedrera, along with many other landmarks.

  • Casa Batllo - A fantastical apartment block with a curving dragon roof, now a museum, designed by architect Antoni Gaudi.

  • Montserrat - Journey to the mystical mountain of Montserrat. This natural park, with its unique peaks, preserves the spiritual essence of Catalonia. For nearly 1,000 years, a Benedictine community has resided in these mountains, located 60 km from Barcelona. Along the way, hear fascinating stories about Catalonia and its connection to the holy mountain, a pilgrimage site since ancient times and part of the route to Santiago de Compostela. Your guide will provide essential information to help you appreciate the heritage you will discover during the tour.

  • Montana de Montserrat - The Rocky Massif of Montserrat, declared a Natural Park in 1987, is characterized by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4,000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its “serrated” top, from which it gets its name. Once you reach the monastery, you have many options, and your guide will tailor the experience to your interests. We invite you to take an easy 30-minute walk to enjoy one of the most stunning views of the natural park, or you can choose from other activities the mountain offers.

  • Sant Jeroni - Ascend to the peak of the holy mountain for a bird’s-eye view of the entire Montserrat Monastery and the natural park. On clear days, you will enjoy uninterrupted views of all of Catalunya. You can use funiculars and cable cars for breathtaking views.

  • Santa Cueva de Montserrat - Since the funicular to this holy site is under maintenance, the choice is yours. If you feel like a 30-minute walk, you can access the Holy Cave, where, according to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared. The site has since become a center for pilgrimage and prayer. From there, you can also see the Cross of San Miguel and the wonderful views from this side of the mountain. Conclude your tour by listening to the angelic voices of La Escolania de Montserrat, one of the oldest boys’ choirs in Europe (subject to seasonal availability). This musical treat will end your mystical Montserrat visit. If the choir is unavailable, you can still explore and capture breathtaking views and photos.
