Through picturesque little villages you will arrive at the incomparable setting of the mountain of Montserrat , located to the right 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.
