We had a fabulous day out exploring the Montserrat monastery and hiking trails. Ramon, our guide, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and did a great job of showing us all the areas we were interested in. I would HIGHLY recommend Catalan Trails if you are looking for experienced and professional guides & adventures.

Fantastic hike and visit to the Monastery! Ramon was an excellent trip leader and a highly knowledgeable guide who shared fantastic information about the Geology, vegetation, history, and culture Monserrat. He even provided local snacks that were delicious. I highly recommend that you do this trip with Ramon.
