Beautiful location! Worth the trip for the experience. It is an easy hike, but note it is mostly downhill and uses muscles you may not normally use!
A favorite day in Barcelona!

Such a fantastic experience! This was our family’s favorite thing we did in Barcelona! James, our guide was a fantastic host! He was waiting for us exactly at the meeting point right on time and got us back right on schedule! You can tell James loves being a guide. We brought our family with three children ages 15, 13 and 11. James was a wonderful driver and host to the entire group. The day at the monastery was unbelievably beautiful. James got us on location quickly and efficiently and was able to provide history on the area. We then enjoyed a lovely cable car ride and hike down the mountain. James took fabulous pictures of our family for us and even offered for me to borrow his hiking sticks to hike down the mountain as I had some knee trouble. That didn’t stop me from enjoying the breathtaking beauty of the views at the top of the mountains. It was a great tour and if you have time it would be a great addition to your Barcelona itinerary.
Must visit when in Barcelona
