What an incredible day exploring Montserrat and trying some exclusive, premium wines in Manresa yesterday. Lovely company, sweet group under the guidance of Laia, our tour guide. She was warm, knowledgeable, and fun- bringing the mystique and secrets of the mountain and vineyard to life with facts and great energy. The views were breathtaking, the pace was perfect and the transportation was premium. Highly recommend this tour for any one visiting Barcelona, especially families… and if you can, ask for Laia!
