Overview of your Barcelona tour

For Catalonia Montserrat is important. It's a place of religious devotion, in a sublime natural environment that connects you with transcendence. Since I was a child I have visited Montserrat regularly, first with the nuns' school, then with my climbing friends, often with my family and also with my clients. I can't get enough of the magic of the mountains of Montserrat. I'm an expert in Catalan traditons and lover of my culture, I can be the best guide for you. The massif of Montserrat is in the middle of Catalonia, one hour trip from Barcelona. There is a Benedictine Monastery in the mountain, founded 1. 000 years ago. Montserrat is a very important symbol for Catalan identity. The Little Brown, our Madonna, She is into the Montserrat Abbey.

Lidia is a wonderful guide. She has a great depth of knowledge that comes from a love for Catalonia and its heritage. We spent 5 magical hours at Montserrat with her. We highly recommend Lidia for any tour of Barcelona and the surrounding areas. Thanks Lidia for a great tour! I.S.

For our second day with Lidia, she took our group of 8 out to Monserrate where we took a cable car up to the Basilica. She very engaging and accommodating. Her knowledge is extensive. An excellent choice for a guide in and around Barcelona.

Lidia was outstanding! Our trip to Barcelona was very special because of her local expertise and pleasant demeanor. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend her as a guide. She made the trip extra special by making our two girls, ages 8 and 10, enjoy their time as well.
