Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, Montserrat

Montserrat is clearly a pretty special place, rich in history. and it goes beyond being a church worth visiting and catching a glimpse of the black madonna. it is a whole complex complete with different places to eat, various shops, hiking/climbing routes, a cable car, stunning outdoor vistas, sleeping accommodation, an art exhibition area and conference center, street vendors selling cheese and honey ... you get the idea. on top of that, there are supposedly positive energy vortexes around here and UFO enthusiasts regularly meet on the mountain looking to connect with their cosmic friends. the ONLY downside i can think of is parking. it is somewhat limited considering the droves of people that pass through each day, all day. and there are not many options for parking elsewhere on the mountain

Absolutely beautiful. We had an amazing tour guide too. Once we had our own time we took a walk up the mountain and my boyfriend proposed to me under the Cross ❤❤ I of course said yes. Perfect moment, perfect views and perfect memories. Definitely recommend taking the walk for tge views!

Fabulous I had a great time. The only thing It was to hot but that is out of their control The only thing is they need to make the signs more prominent for the last ride from the funicular. I ask the lady and she confirm it was 5:40 PM let her know that 3 ladys where in the trail and she said that the will close and they will need to walk up the mountain and let me tell you. That was really Far down and it will take them very long time To get back up and I did not see the signs giving instructions as how to get out of there I hope they manage to get out on time Other then that ....I HAD A FABULOUS DAY!!!

Well thought out for tourists with original character. Very clean and tidy. Nice farmers' stalls. Bought honey and nuts

Beautiful church well worth a visit. Also the audio visual show really explains the heart of the place
