Montserrat Monastery with panoramic views of the Holy Mountain!⛰️

Montserrat is a spectacularly beautiful Benedictine monk mountain retreat about one-hour northwest of Barcelona by train. Montserrat Monastery is of significant religious importance and the natural beauty surrounding the monastery is breathtaking. Montserrat derives from Latin and Catalan, meaning "Serrated Mountain." This name describes the mountain's jagged, saw-toothed appearance, which is characterised by its unique needle-shaped peaks and rocky formations. These formations have been shaped over millions of years by natural erosion processes, creating a dramatic and distinctive landscape. The Montserrat Monastery offers panoramic views of the Holy Mountain with its distinctive huge pink and white stone mountains. If you enjoy walking, there are also some interesting walks through the mountains where you will experience magnificent views of some of the most unusual rock formations in Catalonia. You can take a funicular to the top of the mountain, and from there you can choose several different walks, all with amazing views of the Catalonian countryside. #churches #mytravelhacks #spain #spaintravel #historicallandmarks #100waysoftravel #barcelona #catalonia #mountain #localguides
