“Must-see” places in Catalonia - Excursion to Montserrat
Friday, March 14th, 2008Hello everybody!
How are you? I went to Germany for a short holiday trip 1 week ago. Unfortunately, it rained a lot, it was very cold (-3ºC) and we had snow…
As I arrived in Barcelona last Wednesday, I saw that there has been really sunny weather… I thought about what you could discover on those sunny day in Catalonia. So, pay attention and keep reading…
If you have time left for a day or weekend trip from Barcelona, I can propose various ideas… in the mountains, on the beach and cultural trips…
First of all, let me start with Montserrat. The mountain and monastery of Montserrat are one of the most important places in Catalonia. It is not only know for its beautiful landscape, but also for its historical and religious meaning. In one day you can visit the monastery, use the Funicular railways, walk around to discover the nature park or just taste the regional gastronomy. It is located 40 km from Barcelona and it’s a very important place for all the Catalans. Beside from being a natural reservation, Montserrat is also visited by thousands tourists every year from all over the world. (more…)
