Montserrat

Montserrat


TUESDAY 5 MAY 2009

We took the train and cable car to visit the monastery at Montserrat – how come the monks always get the best real estate? The views were outstanding, as the monastery is situated 725 meters up the 1236m high mountain of Mont Serrat, which is made up of weird shaped conglomerate rocks. 


The excellent Museum houses world famous paintings by Picasso, Dali, Ramon Casas and Caravaggio. There are some superb walks up the mountain, with hermits’ caves and small chapels on the way. It was especially beautiful with the spring flowers.
