Your local guide will collect you from your Barcelona accommodation in a comfortable minivan. During the journey, they'll share fascinating stories about Catalonia's history and culture.

Montserrat Mountain rises 4,000 feet above Montserrat National Park, 60 km northwest of Barcelona. The massif is recognizable by its "serrated" skyline and rounded peaks shaped by millions of years of erosion.

Visit the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, located 2,380 feet above sea level. This spiritual retreat has existed for almost a thousand years. Inside the basilica, see the Virgin of Montserrat (the "Black Madonna"), patron saint of Catalonia. Explore the monastery surroundings and enjoy spectacular views of the Natural Park. Visit the Holy Cave, where the Virgin reportedly appeared, a popular pilgrimage site.

In the afternoon, travel to the Penedès region to visit one of the oldest wineries, dating back to the 15th Century, where you will have the chance to learn about the cava and wine productions.

Perfectly timed pickup and drop-off made for a smooth day. Alex’s insights inspired a future return to Barcelona. The tour balanced guided info with free time at the monastery. Wine tasting was a treat. Highly recommended experience!

Montserrat is a not to be missed spot when visiting Barcelona. Dulce our guide made the day fun and provided truly interesting information throughout the tour. Kosta did an excellent job of getting safely from place to place, always on time. It was one of the best tour experiences we ever had.
