Monserrat is a wonderful place and a great way to get away from the city and enjoy the surrounding hills of Barcelona. The Basilica is amazing and has such a unique story to it. The hike took us into more rugged terrain that was often steep and very rocky. We did not find that a problem. Those who are not used to hiking such conditions or are not in good physical condition should be cautious. Our guide, Bernard, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and frequently checked on everyone to make sure all were doing OK.

Really enjoyed this scenic hike. A few steep inclines but very doable for a relatively unfit person like me.
Our tour guide Bernard was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and nature of the mountain and of the history of the area, and very passionate about mountains and the environment. We enjoyed the hike thoroughly.
