Hiking

The Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat [ˈsantə məˈɾi.a ðə munsəˈrat] is located at an altitude of 721 meters in the mountain range of the same name, about 40 km northwest of Barcelona in the extreme south of the Bages comarca. Today, about 80 monks live there according to the Regula Benedicti. In the monastery, the 12th-century Marian depiction "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 also has high symbolic significance beyond the Catholic Church.
