Ride by coach to the Montserrat Mountain Ridge, six miles long, three miles wide and 4,050 feet tall. This peculiar mountain range is the site of the monastery where people come to worship La Moreneta — the black Madonna who is the patron saint of Catalonia. On a natural platform at 2,380 feet above sea level, you will visit the Benedictine Monastery, founded in the 11th century. The Benedictine community now numbers 80 monks and has served the shrine for almost a thousand years, dedicated to a life of prayer, work and welcoming pilgrims.
Transfer to Barcelona Airport, where you will be reunited with your luggage in time for check-in.
Notes:
Travel time to Montserrat is approximately one hour each way. Modest attire is required for visiting churches or cathedrals; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered; shorts are not allowed. Be prepared for long lines at the monastery. Due to religious events, the Black Madonna can be unpredictably closed for viewing. The road to the Monastery has many switchbacks. This option is available only to guests whose cruise ends in Barcelona, with flights at 3pm or later. If you have already purchased an airport transfer with your cruise booking, a refund for the transfer will be processed on board the ship, as this excursion automatically includes a transfer.
