Additional Information

Experience the captivating Montserrat Natural Park and Monastery. From the breathtaking 360° vistas at St Miquel’s Cross, we’ll speculate what creatures and figures the spherical rocks resemble. Explore the lush Mediterranean greenery, filled with thick oak forests, boxwood shrubs, and fragrant herbs flourishing in open fields. With wild rosemary, thyme, and lavender lining the trails, our senses will be delighted. If we’re fortunate, we might even spot Montserrat’s iconic wild goat nimbly navigating precarious cliffs. We’ll also look out for other indications of the local wildlife. Participants will be treated to seasonal fruit at Pla de Tarántulas. From there, we head onto a mountain track and traverse a quaint creek as we gently meander down the main valley back to the Monastery. We’ll cap off the journey with a visit to the church to see Saint Mary and sample some locally made cheese and fig bread.

Great place to spend the day. - Monserrat is a very beautiful and peaceful place to visit. We really enjoyed our hike there. Our guide, Stepan, was very professional, patient, knowledgeable and detailed during our tour. The vehicle was very clean and he was a great driver. He also had great recommendations.

Experience of a lifetime! - Foivos is an EXCELLENT guide- The night before, he sent a message prior to the trip to ensure I had everything prepared for the day trip (sunscreen, hat, jacket, snacks, water, etc). He is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He took us on a gorgeous hike and explained key historic features of Montserrat , I learned a lot, got a great workout and enjoyed the gorgeous 180 views of nature. I HIGHLY recommend booking this tour with Foivos, it was the highlight of my Barcelona trip!

Great experience at Montserrat. - My wife and I really enjoyed our outdoor adventure with Estephan, exploring and hiking the scenic views of Montserrat and monastery. It was a wonderful experience and would likely to do it again when we come back to visit Barcelona in the future.

Awesome experience - Stefan was very professional, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Started the tour on time, explained all historical places and context, and patiently answered all our questions. He brought water bottles for us, offered us local tangerines and told the significance behind them. I would highly recommend to take his tour and you would enjoy every minute with him ! Viral
