The hike down was a... - The hike down was a little steep but I’m an active 70 year old and managed it well. Our guide, James, did a great job! It was obvious that Montserrat was a meaningful place to him. He told so much about its history and on the hike was careful to point out naturally growing herbs and other plants. We saw a couple of mountain goats at a distance as well.

Lovely day - This was very enjoyable. The day started a little damp and misty when we started our walk down the mountain. The visitor to the basilica and listening to the choir in the cloister was very moving. James was a great guide and explained times of when and where to meet. It was an outstanding tour and to top it off it cleared enough for a photo of the monastery from our walk.

Great tour!! - We toured Montserrat with Allen last week and what a wealth of knowledge. We learned all about the Monastery and then the topography of the area along with the wildlife. It was an enjoyable and informative day.

Great views, make sure you really want to hike! - The views on Monteserrat are unbelievable. We had a nice clear day. We were supposed to take the venticular up the mountain but it had been shut down due to recent heavy rain. I think because of this the hike wás changed to hiking up hill instead of down which required more energy than I had this day so I skipped the hike and had 2 hours free for lunch. We took the cable car down the hill which was fun. Our guide was informative. I'd suggest bringing a lunch from Barcelona as the cafes are slow, overpriced and slim pickings.
