We will tickle our sense of smell with wild rosemary, thyme, and lavender growing freely along the path. If we are lucky, we may spot the iconic wild goat of Montserrat confidently walking on the steep edges of the conglomerate rock. We will observe other animal tracks and signs of local fauna.

5.00Stephan was a great guide. He offered the perfect amount of knowledge about local flora, fauna, history without taking away from the beautiful scenery of the hike. Be aware the first part of the hike is steep but after the initial climb it is a very easy walk. Would highly recommend if you enjoy hiking and beautiful views.
Most amazing first day of 2026!

5.00Stepan wad very friendly, knowledgeable and care for the seniors (6 of us). He gave us choice of what we would like to visit, guided and explained things in detail for us through out the tour. We hiked the Montserrat, visited the Basilica, visit the Black Madonna and listen to the boy's choirs. We also tasted cheese, honey and dried fruits in local farmer's market.

5.00My sister and I had truly the best time with Stepan. The hike was invigorating and truly stunning. Stepan was such a great guide, he was very knowledgeable about the history of Monserrat, the wildlife, the Basillica, and he created a great atmosphere for my sister and I. He also provided the opportunities for us to try the local cheese, honey, fig bread, and make it just such an enjoyable trip. I cannot suggest doing this tour with Stepan enough!!

5.00Great nature experience. Demanding with many stairs up, but it was worth the effort. Our guide Stephan was very good at keeping pace and knowledgeable about the area and the history associated with it. A tour we strongly recommend.
Awesome hike with Stephan!!!

5.00Stephan was awesome! First part of the hike was difficult but he set a great pace and took breaks along the way for pictures. So knowledgeable about the history but also nature of the surrounding area. Beautiful, scenic hike and a great workout too! We ended the hike with a museum tour and got so see some Picassos. The cheese and honey sampling at the end was a really nice treat.
Best small group experience in Montserrat

5.00Foremost, the meeting spot was simple to find. Stephen greeted us and a tour included a small group of 6 people. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and small personal details of the heritage site. He had waters and walking sticks for individuals to use. This was a highlight of the trip. After visiting the basilica, we enjoyed a farmers market of cheese and honey tasting. Bravo!! Book this experience with Stephen Elizabeth and Nader California

5.00A 'wow' part of our entire Spain visit...! Stepan, our superb guide (and English speaker), helped us experience the true and unhurried flavor of Monserrat, and surrounding trails and vistas, interwoven with history, religion, legends, flora and fauna, food - all with the grace and experience of someone who 'gets it' and helps maximize the joy of discovery. Would do this tour, again, in a heartbeat. Thanks Stepan...!
