Explore the dramatic landscape of Montserrat on a full-day excursion by car. The jagged peaks rise sharply from the Catalan plain, creating a uniquely sculpted skyline that frames the antique Benedictine Monastery hidden among the rocks. Wander the monastery precincts to admire centuries of architecture, intricate façades and cloistered courtyards, then step inside the Basilica to view the venerated Black Madonna, La Moreneta. Outside, a lively farmers' market offers an authentic taste of Catalonia: sample artisanal cheeses, cured meats and local preserves as you stroll stalls run by regional producers.
