Montserrat: a sanctuary for you
Straddling the districts of El Bages, El Baix Llobregat and L’Anoia, the massif of Montserrat is one of the most iconic sights in Catalonia.One of the best ways to explore it is by taking a circular route up to Sant Jeroni, which at a dizzying 1,236 metres, is the highest viewpoint on the massif. Other equally impressive peaks are Els Ecos, El Cavall Bernat, Els Frares Encantats and Les Agulles. The trail starts at the Monastery of Montserrat, which you can reach by funicular. When you arrive, you’ll see the trail signposted on your right. Walking through holm oak, oak, and pine woods you’ll see that hiking, climbing and speleology are common activities in the area. The Salnitre caves in Collbató are the most frequently explored.
