An hour from Barcelona,
and nothing like it.

Get out of the rhythm of the city and into one of the most striking places in Catalonia.

Get out of the rhythm of Barcelona and into one of the most striking places in Catalonia.

A little over an hour from the city sits Montserrat, a mountain made unmistakable by its shapes, its landscapes and centuries of history. On this day trip you travel there from Barcelona by coach.

Once you are up there, you find the Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, built into the mountain itself and one of the most emblematic places in Catalonia.

During the visit you pick up the history of the monastery and the tradition around La Moreneta, the famous image of the Virgin of Montserrat and the patron saint of Catalonia.

But Montserrat is a lot more than its monastery. There is time to walk the surroundings, find the viewpoints, take in the landscape and look at the rock formations that made this mountain famous.

Nature, culture, history and views you will remember long after you are back in Barcelona.

Nature, mountain and quiet

Of the three day trips out of the city, this is the one about nature, the mountain and the spiritual side of Catalonia.
