What to expect

Discover one of the most mystic Catalan wonders on this half-day tour. Take the cogwheel train and enjoy a breathtaking ride up the mountain. Walk around the sanctuary and imagine the many lives lived by the monks at the site through the centuries. Visit the Black Madonna, popularly known as la Moreneta, and get a gift.

Follow your local guide through the site and learn about the history and architectural style of the Monastery. A community of 80 monks currently lives and follow the rule of Saint Benedict in Montserrat. Fall in love with the Gothic and Renaissance details of the basilica and sanctuary. Learn about the legend of the miraculous apparition of the Black Madonna and Child in the cave of Santa Cova. To this day, their woodcarving is kept in the Church of the monastery, which you will be able to visit. The figure is popularly known as La Moreneta (The Black Madonna) as a result of a varnish reaction.

Your guided tour includes a tasting of typical liqueurs and a visit to the audiovisual space. After the guided tour you will have free time to enter the basilica and visit La Moreneta, admire the fabulous scenery and visit the market of agricultural and typical products of the area. In addition, to commemorate the Millennium of Montserrat there is also the option of enjoying video-mapping, a unique immersive experience where, through art, image, light and music, we will revive the faith and culture of Montserrat from a new perspective.
