Sant Miquel del Fai Monastery and Waterfall

The monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai is one of the most surprising must-sees for those passing through the area. It is located just 50 kilometers from the Catalan capital and is one of those places that make you fall in love. The church, on top of a mountain and suspended over the cliff (it looks like magic), leaves one of the most special visions of the Catalan mountain range. A hidden treasure known to few, located in the middle of a beautiful natural environment near the town of Bigues i Riells.

When you access the natural area, everything captures the senses. The monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai hangs almost from the cliff of the mountain at the top, presiding over a space where rock and water roam free. The route of the monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai is a spectacular walk, which can be done on foot or by car to reach the historic site. The visit to the church is paid, since the enclosure has owners and is private property. But paying them is worth it.

The Benedictine monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai was first mentioned in 997 and built on a cliff. It shows gothic architecture. From here, the beautiful waterfall Salt d 'Aigua can be admired. On the way to the waterfall you can hike behind the waterfall and visit some stalactite caves. Beautiful!!!
