      Full description

      Begin in the upper part of Passeig de Gràcia. Then journey to the natural splendor of Montserrat, Catalonia’s most emblematic mountain topped by a Benedictine Monastery. Montserrat is an ideal trip to spend a day in nature, just a few kilometers away from Barcelona.

      En route to the Monastery, admire the Massif of Montserrat, a multi-peaked rocky range packed with needle-shaped formations. Upon arrival, visit the Monastery, which was founded in the 10th century and still functions with 150 monks to this day. 

      It famously hosts the dark figure of La Moreneta, who is the patron saint of Catalonia. Your guide will explain the Monastery's history, which dates back nearly a thousand years. After the visit, you will have free time to buy a souvenir and take pictures.

      Next, visit a farmhouse with stunning views. Enjoy a delicious 3-course menu; consisting of salad, barbecued food (with vegetarian and halal options), and dessert. Following this adventurous day, return to the center of Barcelona by private transport.

      What an amazing day we had today. Our guide Flavio took us to Montserrat and explained things so well. He had tickets prepared for those who wanted to see the Madonna and he also took a group on the hike to the cross. He told us about the museum and I’m so thankful. That museum was awesome with Dali, Picasso, Renoir and Monet. Such a find! Then we went down the cable car and then to an amazing lunch with many courses and variety. This is the way to see Monserrat. My mom came two years ago and didn’t get to see what we got to see today. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you so much for the awesome day!

      This part of the Barcelona experience is a must go! The sight seeing was beautiful, and the church was jaw-dropping. The farmhouse lunch was the one of the best meals we had in Barcelona, and the wine was delicious. Make sure to explore the farm a bit in the free time! Our guide Ariana was fantastic and very knowledgeable, would highly recommend!

      Great trip hosted by Marco. Easy to find pick up and bus transfer to Montserrat. Marco was very friendly and knowledgeable on all aspects of the trip. The cable car trip to the monastery was awesome as was the monastery itself. Just enough time to see all the sights but if you want to go to the museum on site you might want a longer visit. The trip to the restaurant afterwards was brilliant, Marco and the hosts let us know what the local specialities were and the 3 course meal with loads of wine was fantastic. I can thoroughly recommend this trip to all. Many thanks to Marco.
