Upon arrival, visit the 10th -century Monastery, still active today with over 70 monks, and home to the revered figure of La Moreneta, Catalonia’s patron saint. After exploring the Monastery, you’ll descend the mountain aboard the scenic Cremallera de Montserrat, a rack railway offering breathtaking views as it winds down to the village of Monistrol.
Located at the base of Montserrat, Monistrol de Montserrat is a charming village that perfectly complements the grandeur of the mountain towering above it. The true charm of Monistrol lies not only in its proximity to one of Catalonia’s most famous landmarks but also in the unique blend of elements that make this village so special.
In Monistrol, you’ll take a walk through the village before enjoying a traditional Catalan brunch at a typical restaurant that captures the essence of regional cuisine.
