On our way back to Barcelona, we will make a short detour to the famous Basilica of Montserrat. Upon arrival, we will explore the Montserrat Monastery, a historic treasure over a thousand years old, located in the mountains of Catalonia. Founded in the 11th century, this site is home to the Virgin of Montserrat, known as “La Moreneta” (the Black Madonna), and offers exceptional panoramic views from 720 meters above sea level.
We will visit the monastery's Basilica, notable for its 12-meter-high organ with over 4,200 pipes, which combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Catalan architecture.
Finally, we will return to Barcelona.
