Join us for an explorative hike through Montserrat’s concealed pathways, an internationally recognized multi-peaked “sawn mountain”, tour the Benedictine Abbey and delve into its fascinating past with an enthusiastic local escort on an exclusive small group excursion from Barcelona. We will commence our day with a tour of the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, the dwelling of the black madonna ‘La Moreneta’, learning about its intriguing history and notable sites. We will then prepare ourselves and set off our trek along the stunning trails of Montserrat, threading through its distinct rocky habitats and woods. The trails offer breathtaking panoramic views, and we will also get to savor some traditional Catalan snacks (bring your own sandwich for lunch). Post the hike, we will revisit the Abbey where there’s time to visit the local farmer’s market, unwind or listen to the renowned Escolania de Montserrat boy’s choir perform (on weekdays from Monday to Friday, subject to Basilica’s capacity.
