Getaway to the Montserrat mountains on a half-day trip from Barcelona.
You'll visit the Royal Basilica with its 12th-century carving of the
Black Virgin and perhaps hear the children's choir sing.
After driving through picturesque little villages you will arrive at
the incomparable setting of the craggy mountain of Montserrat, which
rises majestically up from the plain to 4,051 feet (1,235 meters) and
has spectacular views.
The Royal Basilica of Montserrat has been
one of Spain's most important pilgrimage sites for hundreds of years,
due to its famous 12th-century Romanesque carving of the Virgen
Moroneta, the Black Virgin. At 1pm on weekdays there is the opportunity
to hear one of Europe's oldest children's choirs, La Escolania de
Montserrat.
On your way back to Barcelona you will make a stop
at the harbor, where you may choose to visit the Barcelona Aquarium
(entrance fee not included). There is a variety of restaurants, cafes,
shops and cinemas in this area, so feel free to conclude the tour here
and stay on to explore.
