Review of Montserrat’s small-group monastery, hiking, and gentle horseback ride from Barcelona, with practical advice on value, pacing, and what to expect.
“Montserrat is absolutely a must to visit. It was very special with a nice short walk around the monastery and in the trails around. Amazing views and history. Our guide Frank was engaging and very knowledgeable… Horseback was a nice addition however there were no interaction with the horse guide or stops during the trail for pictures. I would suggest to add it for a better experience. Very good day!”
