I would like to show you one of the most iconic places in Catalonia.
The unique rocky formations of Montserrat’s peaks, shaped millions of years ago by rivers that flowed into the sea that once covered this area, have created amazing shapes, which have been given diverse and curious names.
Montserrat, patron saint of Catalonia, can be found in this mountain, which is why it became a pilgrimage site visited by people from all over the world.
Its Benedictine Monastery, founded in 1025, represents an exceptional spiritual and cultural retreat. At the abbey, you will have the opportunity to listen to the celestial voices of the boys’ choir, with over 700 years of history.
Montserrat is a place full of legends and beauty.
