Less than an hour's drive from Barcelona lies Montserrat, the most important and significant massif in Catalonia, renowned for its many peaks and its distinctive shape, which gives it the nickname "serrated mountain" in Catalan. It is a must-visit destination for enjoying nature close to the regional capital, as well as for discovering the magnificent Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, built in the 9th century and home to an image of the Virgin of Montserrat, said to possess miraculous powers. So if you fancy spending a few hours exploring this remarkable place from Barcelona, without having to worry about how to get there, don't wait any longer and join this guided excursion with a hike and a horse ride through Montserrat Natural Park!
Departing from the city centre of the Catalan capital, you will travel by private van to the Montserrat massif in a small group of no more than 8 participants. The first stop will be Montserrat Abbey, where you will find La Moreneta, the patron saint of Catalonia. You will then set off on a 45-minute walk through the wild landscape of Montserrat, during which you will be treated to stunning views over the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees. To round off the experience in style, you will explore the trails of Montserrat Natural Park on horseback, discovering the 3 routes of the Romanesque hermitages. Whether you are an experienced rider or have never been on a horse before, this horseback ride is open to all levels!
