🇪🇸 Montserrat is the most popular Benedictine monastery in eastern Catalonia
For thousands of years, pilgrims have been attracted to this rocky sierra by the shrines of Catalonia: the Benedictine monastery, chapels and caves of Montserrat. About 80 monks live here.
Do not expect manifestations of deep spirituality. The complex has undergone quite a strong commercialization: on Sundays and holidays it is filled with crowds of people. Everything is well organized, including funiculars to Sant Joan and Santa Cova, a museum, restaurants, two hotels, shops and thoughtful routes along the Sierra, equipped with clear signs.
The biggest attraction is the wooden statue of the Virgin of Montserrat or La Moreneta ("darkie"), so named after the dark face. Try to get to the performance of Escolania, the oldest boys' choir in Europe. Under the esplanade there is a museum with a rather motley collection of exhibits.
