Barcelona city and Montserrat private tour with Sagrada Familia visit
Barcelona city is one of the oldest cities in the world, filled with architectural masterpieces that you don't often come across in Europe.
The sculptural masterpieces of Modernism, by Gaudí like Sagrada Familia and his Catalan architectural contemporaries, for which this city is so well known bloom everywhere.
The Magical Montjuïic Hill, is the best place to start, offering first-rate museums with panoramic views with the deep blue Mediterranean sea beckon and and the and the sun-drenched beaches making a fine backdrop.
Οn the other hand Montserrat is Catalunya's pride, a very strange shaped mountain with a famous monastery that became Spain's important pilgrimage and the home of the Black Madonna.
The monastery situated almost on the peak provides us with a spectacular view and an incredible nature . The boys choir is a delight for those who love choir music!
