Ascend via the Montserrat Railway and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscape with a pleasant hike guided by Montserrat Natural Park's best specialist.

Our journey begins at the upper part of Passeig de Gracia, leading you toward the stunning Montserrat, Catalonia’s symbolic mountain. This mountain is crowned by the Benedictine Monastery, a perfect destination to relish a day in nature's lap, merely a few kilometers from Barcelona city. As you approach the Monastery, be ready to be mesmerized by the Massif of Montserrat, a magnificent multi-peaked rock formation showcasing some truly awe-inspiring needle-shaped structures.

On arrival, explore the 10th-century Monastery that's home to over 70 monks and the revered figurine of La Moreneta — the patron saint of Catalonia (visit not guaranteed). The vivid narration by your guide will breathe life into the thousand-year-old monuments and their historical significance.

Board the Sant Joan Railway next and soak in the captivating flora and fauna that dot the landscape. Subsequently, gear up for a gentle hike amidst the verdant splendor of Montserrat Natural Park. Refresh yourself later with the sweet local indulgence - coca de Montserrat.

Enjoy some leisure time to explore the farmers market, enjoy a cup of coffee, or pick souvenirs. The tour concludes with a journey back to Barcelona, leaving you with unforgettable memories.

Witness the grandeur of the Royal Palace of Pedralbes, the first public university in the city - the UB Campus, and the Sportive City of FC Barcelona. As you journey through the countryside, the majestic mountain of Montserrat gradually comes into view.
