    Montserrat Monastery & Basilica

    September 16 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    We teamed back up for a trip to the mountains! We visited Montserrat Monastery & Basilica - it’s a town perched on the side of the mountain. It’s ~1 hour north of Barcelona and was well worth the commute. The Basilica was huge, gothic, and beautiful! We enjoyed a performance of the boys’ choir. Claire and Christy visited the famous statue, the Black Madonna. Grant and Wendi hiked up to a lookout of Montserrat. We met back up for a walk through the museum, which had Picasso, Monet, Dalí, and some great regional art. It was a serene location and we had a nice day!Read more

    TravelerWe visited there in 1964 and I still remember the wonderful restaurant we enjoyed that looked out onto the rock faced cliff. Still have a madonna. From the gift shop. 💕
