Description

If you want to explore Spain in a unique way, search no more. Join me on this hike on Montserrat near Barcelona. And let’s explore the Benedictine Abbey on this half-day trek.

After meeting, we’ll drive on an air-conditioned minivan towards Montserrat, an enchanting town very close to Barcelona. It is famous for being the home of a multi-peaked range. Thus, its name comes from the Catalan and it means sawed mountain. It’s fame also comes from hosting the Benedictine abbey and the Black madonna: La Morenata.

Our adventure begins exploring the Benedictine abbey and learning about its intriguing history. Upon completion, we’ll get ready for our hiking trip following a dazzling path across the rocky formations of the peak. We’ll pass by incredible natural viewpoints, that offer the most hypnotizing views of the enchanting forests around and over the abbey. Then, we’ll continue until we reach the highest point of the peak. So we’ll enjoy an unrivaled 360 degrees view over the whole range. It is so amazing, that in clear days we can see all the way to the Pyrenees and the island of Mallorca.

Then, we’ll begin descending on a shady trail that crosses forests and needle formations until we arrive back at the Abbey. There, if visiting Monday to Friday, we’ll get the opportunity to hear the local boy’s choir singing the Escolania de Montserrat.

Don’t miss out on any of the fun. Request to book this trip and live a marvelous experience in Montserrat.

I also guide this hike in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park and visit Besalú, a day trip from Barcelona, if you want to keep exploring the area.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
