    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.

    Road cycling

    If you are passing through Barcelona or its surroundings, a visit to Montserrat is almost mandatory. For those of us who go by bike, you will be able to enjoy a beautiful climb of about 10 kilometers with breathtaking views. Once at the top, it is highly recommended to climb up to the monastery entrance.
