Summary
Description
This train ticket from Barcelona to Rack Railway offers you an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and indulge in tranquility. Nestled atop a unique mountain (known as "Serrated Mountain" in Catalan), visitors can admire breathtaking art, wander through one of Catalonia's most stunning locations, and partake in a delightful liqueur tasting experience.
From Barcelona's Plaza de España, you will board the train and ascend more than 600 meters, passing through stunning mountain landscapes on your way to this sacred sanctuary, representing the essence of Catalan culture.
Visit Montserrat Behind Closed Doors for a fascinating audio-visual experience showcasing the monastery's history, the sanctuary, and the stunning mountains. Explore a collection of paintings by renowned artists such as Berruguete, El Greco, Caravaggio, Fortuny, Rusiñol, Casas, Nonell, Picasso, and Dali spanning the 13th to the 20th centuries.
Greet the Black Faced Madonna, also known as the Virgin of Montserrat, who dates back to the 12th century, and delve into the truths and enigmas that shroud her fascinating story. (Tip: it all began with a few shepherd boys, as all good stories do). Anticipate waiting in line for this unique experience - a 20 to 40-minute wait in the mornings is typical - but a reward awaits you afterwards: a taste of liqueur at the Montserrat shop!
