Extended Montserrat, Tapas & Wine with Cogwheel Train & Black Madonna

Montserrat: Your tour departs from central Barcelona, from which we will head for the village of Monistrol de Montserrat. From Monistrol, we will take the Cremallera de Montserrat, a cogwheel train offering great views of the countryside and the mountain.

Once at the Monastery, your guides will transmit their passion and knowledge of the landmark to you — its history, legends, and the importance of this site in the development of Catalonia. Access to the Black Madonna’s Throne (La Moreneta) is included, allowing you to visit one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the region.

After walking through the monastery, you will have some free time for shopping at the Farmer’s Market or taking a few pictures at the Stairway to Heaven. If you are lucky, you may also have the chance to attend a performance by l’Escolania de Montserrat, the oldest boys’ choir in Europe.

Please note that l’Escolania does not sing on Saturdays, during school holidays, and on several dates throughout the year. Booking required. Oller del Mas Cellar. After Montserrat, you will head to Oller del Mas Cellar. Located in a 10th-century castle at the feet of Montserrat, this organic, family-run winery is truly one of a kind. Your local guide will lead a visit through the vineyards, the old family cellar, and selected private areas of the castle.

To end this perfect day, you will sample three château organic wines, served with a delicious local cold tapas lunch.
