• Passeig de Gracia - Begin this tour right from your hotel or apartment in Barcelona city. We will pick you up, so please ensure you inform us of your exact location.

Experience a comprehensive view of Barcelona city along the route, passing by Catalunya Square, Barcelona Cathedral, Passeig de Gracia, and the Gaudi Houses, including the Batllo and the Pedrera, among many other highlights.

• 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, listen to fascinating stories about Catalonia and its connection to the sacred mountain, a site of pilgrimage 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 explore during the tour.

• Montana de Montserrat - The Rocky Massif of Montserrat was declared a Natural Park in 1987, characterized by the rounded shape of its peaks. This remarkable 4000-foot wonder is easily identifiable by its “serrated” top, from which it derives its name.

Upon reaching the monastery, you have numerous options, and your guide will always tailor the experience to your interests. We invite you to take a leisurely 30-minute walk to enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the natural park, but if you prefer, you can also choose to engage in other activities the mountain offers.

• Abadia de Montserrat - Visit the Basilica of Montserrat, home to the tranquil image of the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia, a polychrome Romanesque sculpture dating from the 12th century.

Legend has it that in the year 880, some shepherd boys discovered a statue of the black madonna, the “Moreneta,” in a grotto. A chapel was constructed on this site, which soon became a place of pilgrimage.

• Sant Jeroni - Ascend to the peak of the holy mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Montserrat Monastery and the natural park. On clear days, you will have uninterrupted views of the whole of Catalunya.
• Santa Cueva de Montserrat - Since the funicular that takes you to this sacred place is under maintenance, the choice is yours. If you feel like walking for about 30 minutes, you can access the Holy Cave, where, according to legend, the virgin is said to have appeared. The site has since become a genuine center for pilgrimage and prayer.

From there, you will also be able to see the Cross of San Miguel and the stunning views from this side of the mountain.
