Livingit – Experience Catalunya

First stop is Montserrat, home of Our Lady of Montserrat, commonly known as La Moreneta (Black Madonna) due to the dark color of the sculpture. During the walking tour in Montserrat, your guide will tell you interesting facts about the region and why the craggy mountain and its beautiful monastery have been one of Spain’s most important pilgrimage sites since the 12th century.  Take the cable car and see the sanctuary from above, which has been in use for almost 1000 years by pilgrims, who have climbed this spectacular mountain. Explore the magnificent mountains of the Natural Park and enjoy the scenic views. Continue with a visit of the Royal Basilica and the Museum of Montserrat (own expense) to learn about Montserrat’s spiritual and cultural importance and see art work from Picasso, Dalí and Monet.

Later on, sit down and relax with the rest of your group to enjoy a traditional lunch. A delicious 3 course meal of products grown in the surrounding region and at the farm beside us. Savor the exquisite taste of local Catalan cuisine, while sharing tales of your unforgettable walk along Montserrat and its legends.
