What To Expect
Montana de Montserrat
The Rocky Massif of Montserrat has been declared as Natural Park in 1987, and characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its ''serrated'' top from which it got his name. Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 min to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish you can also decide to enjoy other activities that the mountain offers.
Abadia de Montserrat
Montserrat Basilica, located in the stunning Montserrat mountain range in Catalonia, Spain, is a revered site of pilgrimage and natural beauty. Known for housing the famous statue of the Black Madonna, La Moreneta, the basilica is a significant spiritual and cultural landmark. Its breathtaking setting amidst rocky cliffs offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making it a popular destination for both worshippers and tourists alike. Visitors can explore the basilica's rich history, beautiful architecture, and serene atmosphere, all while experiencing the spiritual energy that has drawn people since 12th century.

4.00Montserrat is beautiful and worth the trip. However, there was so much traffic to get into the park and there was no parking so we had to wait for the guide. Therefore, we didn't get to see as much or do the funicular or really explore the area.
Convenient transportation, average guide

4.00Our guide was knowledgeable but we had a hard time understanding him due to his thick accent. Our tour was a mixture of English and Spanish so it was somewhat disruptive as he had to go back and forth between the 2 languages. I didn’t realize the tour did not include the ability to see the black Madonna, so a bit disappointed about that. Being picked up and dropped off at our hotel was very convenient.
Great tour , recommend it ! A+++
