The experience starts in the upper part of Passeig de Gràcia before journeying to experience the natural splendour of Montserrat, Catalonia's most emblematic mountain, topped by a Benedictine Monastery. Montserrat is an ideal trip to spend a fun day in nature, just a few kilometres away from Barcelona.

Board the Aeri Cable Car to observe the area's fascinating flora and fauna. On the way to the Monastery, admire the Massif of Montserrat, a spectacular multi-peaked rocky range packed with unique needle-shaped formations. Upon arrival, visit the Monastery, founded in the 10th century and still functions to this day, with over 70 monks. It is also well-known for hosting the figure of La Moreneta (visit not guaranteed), who is the patron saint of Catalonia. Your guide will bring history alive by explaining the history and ventures of this Monastery dating nearly a thousand years.

A bus will take you to Farmhouse, where you will have lunch from farm to table based on a delicious 3-course menu; first-course salad, second-course combination of barbecue (vegetarian and halal options) and dessert with stunning views. Once finished, you will then start your trip back to Barcelona.
