Extended Montserrat, Tapas & Wine

<p><span style="font-size:18px"><strong>Montserrat</strong></span></p>

<p>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 <strong>cogwheel train</strong> offering great views of the countryside and the mountain. Once at the Monastery your guides will then transmit their<strong> passion and knowledge</strong> of the landmark to you – history, legends and the importance of this site in the development of Catalonia. After walking through the <strong>monastery</strong>, you will have some <strong>free time</strong> for shopping at the Farmer’s Market or taking a few pictures at the Stairway to Heaven. If you are lucky, you will even have the chance to attend the performance of l&#39;Escolania de Montserrat, the oldest <strong>Boys&#39; Choir</strong> in Europe.*</p>

<p><em>*Please note that l’Escolania does not sing on Saturdays, school holidays, and several dates throughout the year.</em></p>
