Montserrat Monastery
Day Trips Barcelona
This is an ideal trip to spend a fun day in nature, just a few kilometers away from Barcelona. Board the Aeri Cable Car to observe the area’s fascinating flora and fauna. On the way to the Monastery, admire the Massif of Montserrat, a spectacular multi-peaked rocky range packed of unique needle-shape formations. Upon arrival, visit the Monastery, which was founded in the 10th century and still functions to this day, with over 150 monks. It is also well-known for hosting the figure of La Moreneta (the dark one), who is the patron saint of Catalonia. Your guide will bring history alive by explaining the history and ventures of this Monastery dating nearly a thousand years. A Private luxury Car/Minivan will take you to a traditional Farmhouse where you will have lunch from farm to table based in a delicious 3-course menu.
As a first course salad, a second course combination of barbecue (vegetarian and halal option) and dessert with stunning views. Once this massif is observed from a distance, it is easier to understand the importance of this mountain when it comes to influencing the traditions and culture of the regions that surround it. The plans and terraces of the Farmhouse have been cultivated for hundreds of years. At present there are 2,700 trees of the varieties of the area, which are the Palomar and the Vera. After this full day of adventures you will be dropped-off at your Hotel located in Barcelona City Center.
