Overview

  • From Catalonia’s holy mountain to its finest sparkling wine, this full-day small-group tour for up to eight people combines spirituality, nature and wine, with hotel pick-up and drop-off.

Explore the monastery clinging to the cliffs, then follow your guide on an easy walk to one of the natural park’s best viewpoints over the valleys below.

    In the afternoon, head down to the Penedès, Catalonia’s great wine region, to visit a family winery surrounded by vineyards. Walk through its vineyards and cellars with your guide, learn how cava is made the traditional way, from the grape to the bottle, and finish with a tasting of its sparkling wines.

Get on the road and head to the mystic mountain of Montserrat. This natural park, with its very peculiar peaks, protects the spiritual essence of Catalonia. For almost 1,000 years, a Benedictine community has lived in these mountains located 60 km away from Barcelona. On the way, listen to some interesting stories about Catalonia and its bounding to the holy mountain, scene of pilgrims since ancient times and part of the route to Santiago de Compostela. Your guide will share important information to understand the heritage you will discover during the tour.

Abadia de Montserrat

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Visit the Basilica of Montserrat, house of the serene image of the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia, a polychrome Romanesque carving dating from the 12th century. The legend says that in the year 880 some shepherd boys found a statue of the black madonna, the "Moreneta", in a grotto. A chapel was built on this site that soon became a place of pilgrimage.

Montana de Montserrat

Declared a Natural Park in 1987, Montserrat is famous for its rounded rock pinnacles, shaped over millions of years. Follow your guide on an easy walk of around 30 minutes to one of the park’s best viewpoints.

Montserrat Museum

  • Admission ticket not included
If you wish, you can also decide to visit the Montserrat museum. It has an important section of early paintings, spanning the 13th to the 18th centuries, with works by El Greco, Caravaggio as well as a large collection of Catalan paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries that includes major names such as Fortuny, Rusiñol, Casas, Picasso and Dalí but also of French impressionism such as Chagall, Braque, Le Corbusier, Miró, Dalí and Picasso.

Penedès DO

  • 1h
Leave the mountain behind and head down into the Penedès, Catalonia’s leading wine region, where vineyards stretch between the mountains and the Mediterranean. On the way, your guide will explain what makes this land perfect for growing grapes for cava.
