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.
What we are going to do?
The activity starts first thing in the morning and we will head straight to the flying area, where we will take part in the balloon inflation. Once it is ready, we will take off for an hour close to the mountain and its surroundings. At the end of the flight, a 4x4 car will be waiting to pick us up and take us back to the flight area, where we will toast with a glass of cava and have a snack. We will continue with a guided visit to the Monastery of Montserrat. Finally, we will return to Barcelona.
