Discover Barcelona

We'll travel outside the city up into the hills, where striking geological formations loom on either side.  Our destination is the cliff-side monastery often covered in the clouds.  But not on our day, it was beautiful trip to see formations like I've never seen before.  There's one formation that has the "biggest dimension ever recorded" and I have the picture to prove it!

Montserrat is a multi-peaked rocky range located near the city of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. The main peaks are Sant Jeroni, Montgrós and Miranda de les Agulles.  ​Our day Visit To Montserrat Spain - "The Trip of a Lifetime"!

If you want a break from the crowds, several day trips from Barcelona are tempting scene-changers: the mountaintop monastery of Montserrat and the Salvador Dalí museum at Figueres, 

For almost a thousand years, Benedictine monks have lived atop Montserrat — the "serrated mountain" — which dramatically rockets up from the valley floor northwest of Barcelona.

The Dalí Theatre and Museum, is a museum dedicated to the artist Salvador Dalí in his home town of Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain.

Dalí is buried there in a crypt below the stage. The museum received 1,368,755 visitors in 2016.

Legend has it that in medieval times, shepherd children saw lights and heard songs coming from the mountain. They traced the activity to a cave, where they found a statue dubbed "La Moreneta" — "the Black Madonna." The monastery quickly became a pilgrim magnet. The small wooden Mary is behind protective glass in the Montserrat basilica, but the royal orb she cradles in her hand is exposed, ready to receive the venerating touch of the faithful. Newlyweds in particular seek this Mary's blessing.

Check out the photos below - you can find a video of the boys choir singing that day as well on our 30-minute download.  There's nothing like it - to get to Mary, you have to climb the steps!
