Highlights
A trip to Montserrat whilst in Barcelona is a must. Visiting the Basilica and seeing the Black Madonna are awe-inspiring experiences. But visiting the mountains with a professional certified Mountain Leader enables you to get deeper in the mountain, closer to where the hermits once lived, go off the beaten path with absolute peace of mind. I do not provide standardised tours, the tours are catered for the group on the day. Come and discover the natural beauty of this mountain, its history, the relevance of Catalonia's sacred mountain. And take home with you memories that you will cherish forever.

Itinerary
On this half-day tour you will get to visit the Benedictine Abbey, the Basilica and then head high into the mountain to better understand the story behind this awe-inspiring site, observe some of the local flora and fauna, and enjoy some of the most mesmerising and spectacular views you'll get to see whilst in Barcelona. After an hour drive to Montserrat, you will first visit the Monastery and its Basilica. You will then head up into the mountain on the funicular to discover this incredible landscape and find out about this magnificent geological formation, home to some surprising species of flora and fauna. You will get countless opportunities to take spectacular pictures and explore this unique mountain before heading back to the monastery where you will have some free time before our drive back to Barcelona. You will be dropped off in a central location to continue exploring the city of Barcelona.

About Barcelona
Barcelona sets Gaudí's fantastical buildings and a medieval Gothic Quarter between Mediterranean beaches and green hills, with food and nightlife to match.
Antoni Gaudí's work defines the city's image. The Sagrada Família rises over the Eixample, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà line the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, and Park Güell's mosaic terraces look out over the rooftops. The Gothic Quarter keeps its cathedral, narrow lanes and hidden squares, and El Born adds the Picasso Museum and the soaring church of Santa Maria del Mar.
Top-ranked sights in Barcelona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
