Montana de Montserrat, Montserrat, Spain The Rocky Massif of Montserrat has been declared as Natural Park in 1987, and characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its ''serrated'' top from which it got his name.
Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 min to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish you can also decide to enjoy other activities that the mountain offers. 30 minutes
Abadia de Montserrat, Montserrat, Spain Visit the Basilica of Montserrat, house of the serene image of the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia, a poly chrome Romanesque carving dating from the 12th century.
The legend says that in the year 880 some shepherd boys found a statue of the black madonna, the "Moreneta", in a grotto. A chapel was built on this site that soon became a place of pilgrimage. 30 minutes
Funicular de Sant Joan, Montserrat, Spain Decide with your small group of 8 pax if you want to enjoy a ride in the rack railway that will bring you at the top of the holy mountain. Enjoy astonishing views along the way. 15 minutes
Sant Jeroni, Montserrat, Spain Reach the peak of the holy mountain to enjoy a bird's eye view of the entire Montserrat Monastery and of the natural park. On clear days, you will enjoy uninterrupted views of the whole of Catalunya. 30 minutes
Aeri de Montserrat, Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain If you skipped the funicular, you can enjoy the cable car, a breathtaking journey over the Llobregat River and Valley, up the mountain and right up to Montserrat Monastery.
The cable car first started running in 1930. It travels at a speed of 5 metres per second and at a gradient of up to 45%.
This is a trip that is not for the faint heart - you will be travelling 1350 metres up the mountain in a small hanging car! However, if you are not afraid of heights, you will be in for a really memorable and rewarding experience. 15 minutes
Montserrat Museum, Montserrat, Spain If you wish, you can also decide to visit the Montserrat museum.

We had a great time with Teo. He did his best to get us into the Montserrat Church although the security only gave us a quick 10 mins.
He made his tour as fun as possible.
It was a great trip with him.
