Discover the secrets of Montserrat Monastery and Hike Montserrat mountain off the beaten path with a passionate local guide on a Premium Small Group Tour!

After 45 minutes drive in a comfortable AC Minivan, you will arrive at Montserrat. You will start the day visiting the Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat, where you will discover its amazing history. “Montserrat” literally means “sawed mountain” in Catalan because of its multi-peaked rocky range. It is well known as the site of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the famous Black Madonna “La Moreneta”, patron saint of the Catalans.

After visiting the Montserrat Monastery, we will get ready and start hiking following a beautiful path around the needle-like rock formations of the mountain, passing by many natural viewpoints offering stunning views over the monastery and the forests around.

We will continue through secret trails to the highest point of the hike, from where you will have breathtaking views of 360 degrees over the multi-peaked rocky range, and on clear days, we will be able to see the Pyrenees mountains and Barcelona!

After admiring those great landscapes and taking some pictures, we will start descending through a shady path between forests of the mountain that will bring us back to the Abbey, where we will have some free time for visiting the farmers' market before heading back to Barcelona.
