Discover Montserrat, a unique mountain located just 50 km from Barcelona, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and spiritual significance. Often referred to as the "Catalan Sinai" or the "Mountain of Angels," Montserrat has been a pilgrimage site for nearly a thousand years. The journey to the Benedictine monastery, perched at an altitude of 750 meters, offers panoramic views and a chance to immerse yourself in its mystical atmosphere.
Attracting thousands of visitors annually, Montserrat is home to the revered Black Madonna of Montserrat, which is housed in the
awe-inspiring basilica. Visitors can admire the statue up close and experience the soothing sounds of the children's choir, one of the oldest in Europe.
Montserrat is also famous for its local products, including liqueurs, cheeses, and sweets, available at the market near the monastery. During your visit, you’ll learn about the legend of the Black Virgin, explore the monastery’s fascinating history, and gain insight into the daily life of its monks. You'll have the opportunity to hike further up the mountain or take the funicular for even more stunning views.
