Description - What to expect

Your Montserrat day trip from Barcelona starts in the upper part of Passeig de Gràcia, before journeying to experience the natural splendor of Montserrat, Catalonia’s most emblematic mountain, topped by a Benedictine Monastery. Montserrat offers an ideal opportunity to escape to nature and enjoy a fun-filled day just a short distance away from Barcelona.

During the trip, you will be captivated by the breathtaking Massif of Montserrat, a magnificent rocky range adorned with distinctive needle-shaped formations. Upon arrival, explore the Monastery, which dates back to the 10th century and continues to thrive with a community of over 70 monks. The Monastery is renowned for housing the revered figure of La Moreneta (visit not guaranteed), the patron saint of Catalonia. Your knowledgeable guide will bring the Monastery's history to life, sharing tales of its ventures spanning nearly a millennium.

A comfortable bus will transport you to a Farmhouse where you will indulge in a delightful farm-to-table lunch. The delicious 3-course menu includes a refreshing salad for the first course, a combination of barbecue options (including vegetarian and halal choices) for the second course, and a delectable dessert, all savored amidst stunning panoramic views. Please note that in August, the restaurant may have slight variations, but you will still have the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent vistas of Montserrat.

Observing this majestic massif from a distance provides a deeper understanding of its profound influence on the traditions and culture of the surrounding regions. The Farmhouse's terraces and plans have been cultivated for centuries, currently boasting 2,700 trees of local varieties, such as Palomar and Vera. After a day filled with adventure, you will be comfortably transported back to the heart of Barcelona via private transportation.
