Montserrat, Barcelona in 4K
I'm so happy I made the decision to visit Montserrat while I was staying in Barcelona. It will take your breath away, and I mean literally. First taking the funicular up the mountain is really amazing (and a bit scary). Then walking on the small city that sits on a rock is somewhat hard to believe. The cheery on top of my day trip was flying my drone. I'm so glad I was able to capture a perspective that would be impossible from the ground. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Montserrat Mountain Top Monastery, Catalonia, Spain.
Today, we traveled to the Montserrat Mountain Top Monastery located in Catalonia, Spain. I had never heard of the site, but I soon learned that it is extremely significant to Catalans, and Catholic pilgrims that come from far and wide to see the Black Madonna- said to have healing powers. The site is 4055 feet above the valley roads. The first part of the monastery was built as far back as 880 A.D. by Hermit Monks with Roman backing.

The Monastery of Monserrat in Spain
►Read the blog:
A 1 hour drive norththwest of Barcelona is the remarkable Santa Maria de Monserrat Monastery, nestled among the Monserrat mountain range.
The easiest way to access the monastery is to take the Funicular to the top. The ride offers a stunning panoramic view of the jagged mountains below.
Montserrat was the first national park in Spain.
The black statue of the Virgin Mary clutching baby Jesus dates back to the 12th century. Local legend claims that the Benedictine monks were forced to build their monastery around the statue because none of them could physically move it.
In 1844, the Virgin of Montserrat was deemed the patron saint of Catalonia by Pope Leo XIII. For this, Monserrat is one of Catalunya’s most spiritually and culturally significant places.

Montserrat is one hour from Barcelona but bit of a hidden gem. Although plenty of tourists visit the monastery, the walking routes are very quiet. This place has a fascinating history with Napoleon and Himmler paying it a visit. Himmler specifically came looking for the holy grail which he believed would give him supernatural powers. It is easy to get here from Barcelona and a perfect day trip. We sleep in our car again and find out that many truck stops have showers to use for a small fee, a great budget travel hack.

Montserrat Monastery in Catalonia, Spain
Vlog # 25 (Pls watch in HD or 720p) - This is the continuation of our Barcelona trip. Visiting the Montserrat Monastery was one of the reasons why we traveled to Spain. It's been a dream of mine to visit at least one monastery in my lifetime, and I must say, having fulfilled that is something I am very grateful for.
The Montserrat Monastery is also known as the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, located near the top of the Montserrat Mountain in Monistrol de Montserrat in Catalonia, Spain. it is part of the Order of St. Benedict and also home to the Virgin of Montserrat and the Basilica of Montserrat.
It was built around the 11th century and monks still reside in the Monastery and hold services. It can be reached via public transportation and private vehicles. We took the train from the Placa Espana station from Barcelona and alighted at the Monistrol station where we took the Cremallera going up to the mountain. There is an option to take the cable car which was the view of the other side of the mountain but it was a shorter ride. We wanted to sit longer on the train and view the surrounding area as the train traverse the side of the mountain before reaching the stop at the Monastery. Another funicular can be taken to further reach the upper part of the mountain where you can see the cave and check out the views at the top.

Montserrat Monastery - Spain (HD1080p)
คำอธิบาย
Montserrat, Barcelona | The Sacred Mountains of Calatonia, Spain
While staying in Barcelona, we decided to head out to the Catalan Pre-Coastal Mountain Range of the province Barcelona in Spain. Montserrat is a multi-peaked mountain range near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. The main peaks are Sant Jeroni (1,236 m), Montgrós (1,120 m) and Miranda de les Agulles (903 m). It is well known as the site of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary.
In this 4K video, we booked a hiking tour to Sant Jeroni, the highest point via Airbnb and had a great time with Jamie, the host of this tour. You can find him on:
As you can see, the weather wasn't the best, it was raining and we didn't have jackets with us, but it also gave the tour a special vibe.
Fantastic experience, as a mountain lover I can only recommend this climbing tour.
