Tour Highlights

Basilica of Santa Maria de Montserrat

With its origins in the 11th century, the Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat definitely takes a prominent space in the mountain. More than 70 monks still live there using the basilica for mass. This newer church is open to the public and we will visit it during the tour.

Basilica of Santa Maria de Montserrat

Black Madonna shrine

The basilica is home to the oldest image of the Black Madonna of Montserrat, patron saint of Catalonia. It is a beautiful 12th-century Romanesque statue situated above the altar and in the early morning, you can access the shrine to take a closer look. To kiss the virgin’s hand and orb is definitely a spiritual experience.

Art Museum

A big surprise to any visit to Montserrat is the fantastic Art collection that its museum holds. Among the 1,300 pieces you can find works by Caravaggio, El Greco, Monet, Dalí or Picasso. This is a must if you are an Art lover.

Art Museum

Holy grotto

The Holy Grotto (or “Santa Cova”) is a very important place of pilgrimage as this is where, according to tradition, in 880 the image of the Black Madonna was found. The 1.5 km walk to the cave and chapel is a delight with a monumental rosary including works by Catalan Art Nouveau names like Antoni Gaudí, Josep Puig i Cadafalch or Josep Llimona.

Nature walks at Montserrat

For many, the highlight of a visit to Montserrat is not in the religious aspect but in the magnificent surroundings. There are many walks around the area to enjoy the fabulous rock formations. Five of the routes leave from the monastery so, depending on your level of fitness, you might want to take a stroll and admire the views.

Nature walks at Montserrat

Codorniú cava winery

Founded in 1551, Codorníu is one of the oldest companies in Spain and they have been producing cava in Catalonia since the 19th century. Their headquarters were designed by Puig i Cadafalch, one of the leading architects of the Modernisme. It is no surprise that the wonderful main room is often referred to as “The Cathedral of Cava”.

Guided visit to cellar

Entering the winery cellars at Codorníu is like travelling to an underground world full of 100-year-old sparkling wines. The endless corridors are distributed on 5 floors that can store millions of bottles. You will discover it all on a guided visit organised by the winery where you will learn all about the history of the place and how a great bottle of cava is produced.

Cava tasting

End the visit to the winery by tasting three of the premium Ars Collecta Codorníu cavas together with a small snack.
