TOUR DESCRIPTION
We walk up to Montserrat, from where we enjoy the stunning views from the Natural Park of Montserrat and the rest of Catalonia from a bird´s eye view.
During the walk we are on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago, we get inspired by Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna and we experience unique ways where rocky pillars and ravines show us how inner mysterious water emerge from the hidden center of the massif.
Later on we head to the ranch, where we enjoy an unforgettable experience on horseback over the stunning countryside at Montserrat’s National Park. We follow a three Romanesque hermitages route while we are amused by this unique and sawtooth mountain range.
