Awesome Montserrat private tour
Montserrat is Catalunya's pride, a very strange shaped mountain with a famous monastery that became Spain's favorite pilgrim place. The home of the Black Madonna and a part of the famous Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route . The monastery situated almost on the peak provides us with a spectacular view and an incredible nature . The Benedictine monks produce some extraordinary liqueurs using local herbs and fruits and their cuisine is also a culinary delight. Don't miss the opportunity to hear the most famous children choir "Escolania" and visit the very interesting museum of the monastery. We can optionally use the local Cog-railway to the peak of Montserrat mountain and also have some free time for hiking if you love nature.
