    Hiking

    The Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat [ˈsantə məˈɾi.a ðə munsəˈrat] is located at an altitude of 721 meters in the mountains of the same name, about 40 km northwest of Barcelona in the extreme south of the Bages region. Today, about 80 monks live there according to the Rule of Benedicti. In the monastery, the 12th century depiction of the Virgin Mary "Our Lady of Montserrat", popularly known as La Moreneta ("The Brown One"), is venerated by numerous pilgrims. As an important center of Catalan culture, Montserrat is of great symbolic importance beyond the Catholic Church.
