Montserrat monastery hosts “la Moreneta”, also called Black Madonna. The legend says that the benedictine monks found the statue, and they could not move the statue to build their monastery, so they decided to construct it around the statue.

Once in Montserrat, enjoy a 45-minute small group guided tour, and then you will have 2 hours to explore on your own.

Our two guides, Mark and Andrés, were absolutely the best: so knowledgeable, excellent with English, entertaining, and friendly. The monastery and surrounding mountains and views should not be missed. We did miss the boy choir not being there, though.

Our Montserrat trip with Merak and Andrew was awesome! They provided a lot of good information about the area on the way up and back. We had almost two hours to explore Montserrat on our own after we visited the Black Madonna statue in the Basilica. Highly recommend this tour.
