Overview

Visit two of Catalonia’s most extraordinary landscapes in one day on this private tour, with hotel pick-up in a vehicle just for you.

Start at Montserrat, the sacred mountain of jagged peaks where Benedictine monks have lived for almost 1,000 years. Visit the basilica and its Black Madonna, La Moreneta, then enjoy a short walk to one of the best viewpoints in the natural park.

Continue to the medieval town of Cardona, crowned by its hilltop castle, for a guided walk through its streets. Then go underground into the Salt Mountain, an old salt mine where you will walk through tunnels with walls of salt and see why salt made Cardona rich for centuries, before returning to Barcelona.

- Private day trip with hotel pick-up and drop-off
