The Journey
Montserrat Monastery
Ascend to Montserrat Monastery, perched dramatically atop a jagged mountain range, a spiritual sanctuary and home to 'La Moreneta,' the Black Madonna. Legend says that monks were divinely prevented from moving the statue, leading them to build the monastery around it. Explore the basilica, a treasure trove of art and history, listen to the angelic voices of La Escolania, one of Europe's oldest boys' choirs (performances typically at 1pm weekdays, except July and Christmas). Ascend even higher via funicular for panoramic views, sample local liqueurs, and immerse yourself in the spiritual aura of this iconic pilgrimage site. Designated a National Park in 1987, Montserrat offers stunning natural beauty alongside its rich religious heritage.
Basilica of Montserrat
Delve into the Basilica of Montserrat, a magnificent structure whose construction began in the 16th century and houses the revered Virgin of Montserrat (La Moreneta). According to legend, the statue was discovered around 880, prompting the monks to build their monastery around it. Today, the basilica stands as a testament to centuries of faith and artistry, boasting an impressive art museum within its walls. Experience the ethereal voices of La Escolania, one of Europe’s oldest boys’ choirs, during select religious ceremonies, adding a touch of divine beauty to your visit.
Bages Region Winery
Escape to a 12th-century traditional farmhouse nestled in the Bages region, a family-owned winery where you'll indulge in an authentic Catalan culinary experience. Savor a carefully crafted 3-course lunch featuring regional specialties, perfectly paired with local wines selected by a skilled sommelier.
