Overview

We experience Montserrat’s National Park on horseback with a passionate local guide in a premium small group up to a maximum of 8 people

HIGHLIGHTS

Montserrat Abbey
Local farmer’s market
Horseback riding in Montserrat´s National Park
Free time to relax and chill out at the Ranch

TOUR DESCRIPTION

After 50-minute drive from Barcelona we first visit the Benedictine Abbey, first built on the 11th century and home to Catalonia’s Patroness Saint, The Black Madonna, a strong symbol of spirituality and unity for the local people.

At the Monastery area we browse amongst regional products in the local farmer’s market before we head to the ranch.

There, we enjoy an unforgettable experience on horseback over the stunning countryside at Montserrat’s National Park. We follow a three Romanesque hermitages route while we are amused by this unique, jagged and sawtooth mountain range.

Before we head back to Barcelona we still have time to relax at the ranch breathing in Nature.
