Discover the Monastery of Montserrat, located an hour from central Barcelona. Montserrat is a unique mountain in the world, certainly worth a visit if you are in the area. It is considered to be the cornerstone of Catalan culture, history, nature, and spirituality. Your guide will provide plenty of information about it during the guided visit.
You'll see the atrium, where many events of the country's history are depicted; the Basilica, inside of which sits the Black Madonna, and its outstanding façade; the 15th-century cloister; and Santa Maria square. After the tour, you'll have some free time to browse the souvenir shop, get a cup of coffee, visit the Farmer's Market, or enjoy magnificent views.
You'll then head to a boutique winery at the feet of Montserrat. The half-hour drive from the monastery offers wonderful views of the mountain. Explore the winery, the vineyards and the wine production area with your guide. The wine tasting will take place at the end of the visit. You'll be able to sample three local wines paired with a tasty cold tapas lunch and dessert.
