Hot-air balloon experience and guided visit to Montserrat monastery from Barcelona
Description
The Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat is a Benedictine abbey located on the mountain of Montserrat. It has become a point of pilgrimage for believers as it is home to the Virgin of Montserrat, popularly known as the Moreneta, who is the patron saint of Catalonia. It was founded in the 10th century and is still in operation today with more than 70 monks.
