Start your full day trip from Barcelona in as you head to Montserrat, which rises majestically to 4,051 feet (1,236 meters) above sea level. The rocks of Montserrat were naturally formed over time, as the wind and rain shaped the mountain in strange and varied forms, often resembling human and animal figures. The trip to Montserrat also gives you the unique opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of the Montserrat Mountain, one of nature’s special creations.

You will also visit the Royal Basilica of Montserrat, which holds the famous 12th century Romanesque carving of Verge Moreneta (Black Madonna). The Benedict sanctuary of Montserrat has been founded in 1025 and provides a mystical backdrop for the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia who is enshrined in the monastery's Royal Basilica.

The little monastery soon began to receive pilgrims and visitors who contributed to the spread of stories of miracles and wonders performed by the Virgin. Today, Montserrat has been modernized to continue attending to the needs to pilgrims, one thousand years after it was originally founded. You will be given some free time to see the audio visual exhibition about the history and creation of Montserrat and taste typical liquors of Montserrat.

The Escolania of Montserrat is one of the oldest boys choirs in Europe (XIV Century). On some days, the children's choir sings in the monastery and so you may be fortunate enough to catch one of their delightful performances. Their timeframe is subjected to the school calendar and special events of the choir and monastery.

Our tour to Montserrat will finish in the downtown area, where the second part of the tour starts.

Artistic Tour (Second Part of the Day Tour): Departure at 15.30 pm, check-in time: 15.15 pm (from our office, c/Balmes 5)

This tour will take you to the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Basilica, Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece which is Barcelona's most famous landmark. The guide will take you on a walking tour of the exterior of the Sagrada Familia, to admire the richly and symbolically decorated facades, where vaults reach up to seventy meters.

Next up, discover Gaudi's bizarre Park Güell which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be careful, it's easy to get lost in the whimsical design of this bizarre but compelling public park with a perfect integration of the architectural elements in nature.

Our tour continues to Passeig de Gràcia to see Gaudi's famous apartment buildings like Casa Mila “La Pedrera”, Casa Batlló and others modernist buildings.

The tour finally ends near the Casa Batlló - Passeig de Gràcia, 43.
