Montserrat
Going through little picturesque villages you will arrive at the
incomparable setting of the mountain of Montserrat, located to the right
side of the Llobregat river which rises majestically at 1236 m. high
above the sea level. Its silhouette reminds the serrated blade of a saw,
so Montserrat means "serrated mountain".
Montserrat is a rich and
pluridimensional phenomenon: a unique natural park in the world, one of
the most important museums in the country and the sanctuary of the
Catalonia’s saint patron. We will visit the Royal Basilica, where we
will find the black Virgin, a XII century Romanesque carving. The
Basilica has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Spain
for centuries. Some days, the Choir (Europe's oldest children's choir)
sings in the monastery so hopefully we will attend to one of their
magnificent performances.
