Trip from Barcelona description
FEELING MONTSERRAT
NATURE – CULTURE – SPIRITUALITY
Especially compensated for those who want to know more about the Monastery of Montserrat, this tour combines the cultural and spiritual approach of one of the most revered Marian shrines in the world, with the knowledge of the natural environment and history most closely linked to this Benedictine community.
Let’s mix up with hundreds of pilgrims in the Basilica, be seduced by one of the oldest infantile choirs of the world, take a walk through highlights of world art at the museum and have access to the most accurate information on a shrine over a thousand years old.
But to be away from the crowds as well, join the unusual nature of the mountain, discover the origin of its geology, unique in the world; understand, at last, after all, the rich and diverse uniqueness of Montserrat.
