“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…)

The Barcelona Bus Touristic is one of the easiest ways to get to know Barcelona. The bus touristic enables you to know Barcelona by a two floor bus (a roofless double-decker, your first opportunity to get a tan!), with three different routes. With a single ticket you can get on or off the bus as many times as you want. You’ll only need one ticket for all routes. Some of the stops are common to other routes which makes it quite easy to change.
Saturdays like these?
As well as ‘Montjuic’, you have to explore this hill! If you’ve been in Barcelona you are likely to know it, even if you haven’t been there! Let me explain myself, do you remember that church on the top of a hill, with orange illumination at night? You can see it from almost any point of the city and it has become one of the ‘icons’ of Barcelona, that’s on Tibidabo hill!
