Depending on the time of day, you can enhance your experience by choosing to avoid the queue to see the Black Madonna, also known as La Moreneta, get entry to the basilica, and hear one of Europe's oldest boys' choirs.

Take an air-conditioned coach from our Barcelona office to Montserrat. Take the cogwheel train up the mountain and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding area after an hour-long trip on the highway. Appreciate the unusual shape of the mountain, which is derived from the Catalan words serrat (serrated) and mont (mountain)
