Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey
A Benedictine abbey perched on the craggy rock face of Montserrat mountain, Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey serves as one of Catalonia's most important spiritual sites. Alongside the basilica and monastery, the grounds also feature a sanctuary famous for hosting the image of the patron saint of Catalonia, Our Lady of Montserrat. Featuring grand Gothic and Renaissance architecture, the basilica is a work of art in itself, but also houses a museum with paintings and sculptures from the likes of Picasso, El Greco, and Dali. If you're comfortable with heights, make the trip by cable car for superb views of the mountain and surrounding area.

Great day trip out of Barcelona. Did this one in November of 2019. It is an amazing example of what mankind can accomplish when we set our minds to it. A mountain retreat, complete with a Basilica. The monks who built this wonder, couldn't have chosen a finer place. Did the walk to the top of the mountain. The views were amazing. Highly recommended.

One of the best parks for hiking next to Barcelona. You have the highest point at 1.300m and amazing view for the whole valley. If you are lucky, in a sunny day you can see the ocean, from 50km of distance. I came here 4 times, and never gotta regret.
