Overview of your Barcelona tour
Montserrat is a Natural Park that held the venerated Lady of Montserrat, the patron saint of the region of Catalunya, called popularly "La Moreneta"or Black Madonna. Montserrat means serrated mountain, its, history, culture and religion, an unique landscape with impressive mountains, rounded peaks and massive rocks, with wonderful views. It's a paradise for active people, climbing, hiking and exploring caves. It is also a Benedictine Monastery where still there is the oldest boys choir school in Europe called "Escolania". About 80 monks share the experience to live there with about 50 boys on a high of 2. 300 feet above the sea level. The Monastery and the Basilica are one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Europe. It is situated 30 miles away from Barcelona city; we will reach the place by private car/van and visit the wonderful landscapes. If you are an early bird we can enjoy a quite visit of the Virgin Shrine. *The Monastery is private so visitors are not allowed. I suggest to start early

Though there are way too many tourists in Barcelona, even more than Paris or Madrid, the tour was a great overview of this beautiful city. I'd like to brave the cold and go back when maybe not as many people are interested. It was helpful that we did both bus and walking. There is so much to see. I do want to point out that the people of Barcelona that work and maintain calm amid the chaos are exceptional! All do an amazing job in keeping it together.

Olga was a great guide when we went with her to Montserrat! Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to talk to. The driver that brought us to the site was also great. My family and I had a great half day with Olga, thank you!

Our family of seven, ages 40-74, took this trip with Olga, and we were very grateful to be with her. Her advice on timing helped us avoid most of the extensive crowds. She kept us on schedule while being sure we had plenty of time for reflection and prayer. We might have missed the phenomenal museum and appreciated her extensive knowledge of the priceless works. Included roomy and comfortable can accommodations. It was a perfect and memorable trip.
