Itinéraire
Montserrat est un monastère situé au sommet d'une montagne rocheuse inhabituelle. C'est le point culminant de la plaine catalane. Le monastère de Montserrat abrite « la Moreneta », également appelée Vierge Noire. La légende raconte que les moines bénédictins ont trouvé la statue et qu'ils ne pouvaient pas la déplacer pour construire leur monastère, ils ont donc décidé de la construire autour de la statue. Montserrat a été désigné parc national en 1987. Aujourd'hui, c'est un lieu de pèlerinage pour les personnes du monde entier. Une fois à Montserrat, profitez d'une visite guidée en petit groupe de 45 minutes, puis vous aurez 2 heures pour explorer par vous-même. Vous pouvez visiter le musée, déguster l'alcool fait maison du monastère, faire une promenade facile jusqu'à la croix de Saint Miguel pour un point de vue incroyable, monter le funiculaire de Sant Joan, prendre de magnifiques photos, acheter des produits locaux au marché fermier, et bien plus encore.
L'origine du monastère est incertaine, mais on pense que la Vierge de Monsterrat (La Moreneta) a été trouvée vers 880. (les visites de 8h30 et 13h30 incluent les billets pour La Moreneta). Selon les légendes, les moines auraient construit le monastère autour de la statue. Le monastère fonctionne encore aujourd'hui avec plus de 70 moines. La basilique de Montserrat a commencé sa construction au XVIe siècle et abrite aujourd'hui un musée d'art. C’est aussi le lieu où la Escolania, l’un des plus anciens chœurs de garçons d’Europe, se produit lors des cérémonies religieuses (vous pourrez les écouter lors de la visite de 9h30).
Une fois notre visite de Montserrat terminée, notre transport vous mènera à une ferme traditionnelle du XIIe siècle dans une cave familiale de la région de Bages. Ici, vous vous régalerez d'un déjeuner traditionnel catalan tapas

We loved the tour and the fun version of the history of Barcelona on the way up the mountain. But truly what made it special was our guide and his knowledge of the wines when we went to the amazing vineyard for our tasting and lunch! So so good. It was a very small group (12) so no big bus and a very fun group of people.
The tour was a great experience, and our guide, Miro, made it even better. He shared a lot of interesting information in a relaxed, entertaining, and humorous way, which made the whole day enjoyable. You could tell he was passionate and knowledgeable, and he kept everyone engaged. Montserrat was beautiful and definitely worth visiting. My only regret is that I didn't take the funicular (Funicular de Sant Joan) all the way to the top. I'm sure the views would have been amazing! I also enjoyed trying some traditional Catalan specialties, especially mató, which was delicious. The visit to the winery was interesting as well, and it was nice to learn more about the local wines and the winemaking process. Overall, it was a very well-organized tour with a perfect mix of sightseeing, local culture, and great storytelling. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you have Miro as your guide!
We went on the Monserrat with tapas and wine tasting- booked on get your guide. Our tour guide Miro was great! He knows so much about Barcelona and the Catalan experience and I learned a lot about Catalonia and the history of Spain, Galacia, and modern day Barcelona. He was attentive, interactive and very personable. He also was very aware of the needs of those on the tour and made sure to check if people were falling behind or needed water. Miro was very helpful in helping us find different things and experiences in Monserrat. Monserrat was beautiful and the ride up and down was very scenic and picturesque. Miro was great in letting us know great photo spots and opportunities! We hope we get to your with him again next time we are in Spain! Mona and Jasmine 7/04/26
Such a fantastic tour. Xavi is very knowledgeable and personable but the best bit is that he ‘reads the room’ and adjusts the tour to the needs of the group. We had a great time at the monastery with the perfect balance between ‘tour time’ and ‘free time’. The winery tour was fabulous and the tapas and wine tasting utterly outstanding. Overall… spectacular scenery, wonderful food, excellent wines and good commentary. Thanks Xavi… A++++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #4x50SomethingsAdelaide
We had an incredible day with Miro as our guide! We did the monastery with wine/lunch option and thought it was a really great deal for everything included. The vineyard was beautiful, lunch was a good variety, and the wines were great as well. I enjoyed the set itinerary and also felt we had enough free time to do what we’d like. I learned so much about Barcelona from Miro and he made the day trip so enjoyable!
It’s wonderful to hear you had such a well-rounded day exploring Montserrat and the vineyard experience. We’re really glad the combination of structure, free time, and Miro’s guidance helped make everything feel both informative and relaxed, and that you enjoyed the food and wines along the way.
Miro is a fun, entertaining, and informative guide to Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, the history of Catalonia and Spain, and the culture, food, and wine of the region. The winery was a highlight. This is a real review and I am not Miro’s mother. Seriously, I highly recommend this tour and this guide.
It sounds like the mix of storytelling, cultural insight, and wine made for a strong overall experience. We’re glad Miro’s guidance helped tie everything together in a way you enjoyed.
Miro was our guide and he was great. He was very knowledgeable and knew a lot of interesting information!
