Montserrat - This mountain is home to one of the most important religious sites in Spain.
A residence for the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, the mountain is visited not only by those seeking spiritual rewards but also by those looking for one of the most spectacular views of Catalonia. The history of Montserrat goes back to 880 when a group of shepherd children saw a bright light descending from the sky in the Montserrat mountains. The monks are also the owners of the Publicacions de l’Abadia de Montserrat, a publishing house that continues to operate today.
It is the oldest press in the world, having published its first book in 1499. Music lovers will appreciate L’Escolania Choir, a boys’ choir of sopranos and altos based at the Benedictine abbey. They perform every day at the Basilica of Montserrat.
