Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat

Highlight • Religious Site

The Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat [ˈsantə məˈɾi.a ðə munsəˈrat] is located at an altitude of 721 meters in the mountain range of the same name, about 40 km northwest of Barcelona in the extreme south of the Bages comarca. Today, about 80 monks live there according to the Regula Benedicti. In the monastery, the 12th-century Marian depiction "Our Lady of Montserrat", popularly known as La Moreneta ("The Brown One"), is venerated by numerous pilgrims. As an important center of Catalan culture, Montserrat also has high symbolic significance beyond the Catholic Church.

Pla de Sant Miquel or Pla dels Soldats

Highlight • Trail

This crossroads is known as the Pla dels Soldats or Pla de Sant Miquel (in the first case it is known by this name because it was a French military campsite in the French War (1808-1814).
There are three possibilities to continue:

The path on the right goes along the Camino de las Ermitas in the direction of Pla de Taràntules where the upper station of Sant Joan is installed.
The road that continues in a straight line is the Camino de las Costas or the Camino de las Baterias in the direction of Collbató.
The path that turns to the left is the Camino de la Cuadra de San Miguel that goes down towards the Coll de la Fita or converges with the Camino de la Cueva Santa and in Collbató.

April 21, 2024,Montserrat 🇪🇦 - ⛰️☀️🏫👬🥾☕️

Today was our last excursion with the tour group. We went to Montserrat by bus and cog railway. At the monastery, we had not booked the tour plus the Black Madonna, but wanted to spend the 4 hours of free time outside.
We took a steep cable car to the Sant Joan station, then hiked a bit towards the summit. …

The best thing is that you slowly progress in height along a wide track and leave the descending stairs to the monastery for the end. There's no water. And if you want to shorten the journey, you can take …

On our first day in Spain, we experienced a very beautiful highlight: Montserrat in the Catalan foothills. The Montserrat monastery itself is nestled in the mountains. It was rather crowded for my taste. More impressive was the walk up to Sant Joan. Here, the exciting path offers various beautiful views of the mountains, some of whose peaks rise like pillars. …
