Stop At: Abadia de Montserrat, Carretera BP-1121 S/N, 08199 Montserrat Spain

Montserrat is a Benedictine monastery nearly 1000 years old where you can find the Black Madonna, also known as La Moreneta, which represents the patron saint of Catalonia. This figure is very popular because in honour of her, Gregorian chants will be signing every day.

Montserrat is thriving with culture: paintings, gold lamps, decorated chapels and so on. Enjoy also the library of 300,000 volumes and the museum where El Greco, Dalí, Picasso and other treasures from ancient Egypt can be found.

The visit will coincide with the Boys’ Choir Midday Concert

On arrival our guide will give a tour to the main places such as the museum with a great collection of paintings, the different bars, restaurants and shops that are located there and also the monastery and Basilica, two of the main attractions.

The guide will give explanations outside the Basilica as silence must be kept inside it. You'll be shown the Lady's Chapel of the 12th Century figure of the Lady of Montserrat.

Tour members will have free time for lunch (not included) and to dedicate to the aspects of this beautiful and spiritual place that attract them most.

I was hoping to hear more of the history of the monastery but instead we were taken first to the farmers' market, then the shop and finally the chapel. We hardly had an hour to roam around and have lunch. Would have rather done this on our own.

This was a great tour. Both Codorniu and Montserrat were beautiful. It was a nice break to get away from the city for a little more than half a day and see some countryside. The bus was extremely comfortable and our guide was really knowledgeable. Definitely a must do day trip!

Pretty good trip, very interesting to see the Cordinu operations the visit to Montserrat is somewhat rushed and crowded.

This tour was amazing! We had a knowledgeable and friendly guide who gave us a wonderful historical perspective of the wine heritage of Catalonia. He did the same in providing background for Montserrat. He managed the whole day well! We truly loved he trip and he wine was delicious!
