Leave our office in Barcelona on an air-conditioned coach towards Montserrat. After a 1h drive on the highway, board the cogwheel train up the mountain and enjoy the amazing views over the area. Admire the Mountain’s peculiar morphology, which comes from the Catalan words Mont (mountain) and Serrat (serrated). World-famous for its rocky geography, Montserrat beautiful scenery was declared National Park in 1987 to protect its natural and cultural wealth. Follow your local guide through the site and learn about the history and architectural style of the Monastery. A community of 80 monks currently lives and follow the rule of Saint Benedict in Montserrat. Fall in love with the Gothic and Renaissance details of the basilica and sanctuary. Learn about the legend of the miraculous apparition of the Black Madonna and Child in the cave of Santa Cova. To this day, their woodcarving is kept in the Church of the monastery, which you will be able to visit. The figure is popularly known as La Moreneta (The Black Madonna) as a result of a varnish reaction. Your guided tour includes a tasting of typical liqueurs and a visit to the audiovisual space. After the guided tour you will have free time to enter the basilica and visit La Moreneta, admire the fabulous scenery and visit the market of agricultural and typical products of the area. You can complete your experience adding the option that allows you access to the Basilica to listen to the Escolanía de Montserrat, one of the oldest choirs of children singers in Europe. In addition, to commemorate the Millennium of Montserrat there is also the option of enjoying video-mapping, a unique immersive experience where, through art, image, light and music, we will revive the faith and culture of Montserrat from a new perspective.

The trip overall was enjoyable. One area for improvement would be to avoid mixing English- and Spanish-speaking groups. The frequent switching between languages made it harder to follow the guide at times and reduced engagement. It also led to repeated explanations, which took away from the time available to explore the mountains. Keeping groups language-specific could make the experience smoother and more efficient. Additionally, including a group photo would be a great way to preserve the memories.

Our trip to Montserrat was wonderful. Our guide, Miri, was amazing. We didn't get to do the cogwheel, as we were told it would be an additional cost, not included with our tickets.
