    Montserrat is a mountain top monastery situated on top of an unusual rock mountain. It is the highest point of the Catalan lowlands. 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 guide Marek stood above when it came to this tour. His experience and love of Catalonia shone through to create an amazing experience. He taught us about the history of the region at large on our way to the mountain, including some words and phrases of Catalan. At Montserrat, his partner (Miro) taught us the history of the mountain. Once there Marek quickly guided us through the monastery, ensuring each member of our group ample time with the Black Madonna, and additional time within the walls. Along the way, he provided a number of options to engage in during free time, from a market, to a museum, or a hiking trail. He gave estimates for all so attendees could easily plan out everything they wanted to do in the allotted time. On the way back, Marek gave an overview of the city. Most notable, he gave recommendations on what attractions to see and how to see them, where to get great food, and what places were overrated. He provided an insight only a local could. Overall, this was an excellent tour with an excellent guide whose demeanor pushed a great experience to another level
