What to expect
After collection from your accommodation, you'll head into Barcelona's Old Town with your guide leading a walking exploration of medieval streets and plazas. The drive to Montserrat takes roughly an hour; expect winding roads revealing the distinctive saw-toothed mountain formation as you approach. Once there, you'll walk through the Natural Park trails and tour the active monastery complex.

The full day involves several hours of walking at moderate pace across varied terrain.
