Well I'll tell the Shrine of Montserrat, the holy catalan par excellence, is full of information of all types and all kinds looking for in the book of google fat dummy.
far had not written anything, not because there never has been, unlike the more times I have visited, what happens to me is that Montserrat has lost a lot of charm, is like a big pilgrimage. What I love about the rest of the shrines is that you and can not find hardly anyone, which breathe a little of that peace and turn away from the noise, stress and all that creates and fills you in the big city ..
Still thinkin thinkin I also noticed that montartelo Montserrat if you know of other ways you can find those moments and see the mountain and the shrine also with that calm, then I comment as:
- From the shrine issue two paths to explore the mountains, one behind the fountain with a long long climb stairs, if you follow to the end you come to San Jeronimo. Another front of the source in a more ride rotates until the mountains and also in the end you come to San Jeronimo. Organizais If you can well give a good ride round the mountain to find otherwise. Continuing along these roads also leave small routes to chapels, churches scattered through the mountains. If you are not eager to go, you can choose to take the air that you pretty close to San Jeronimo and leaves you so high, almost to San Jeronimo that the rise is minimal. Important this route is of practically no danger and can be done with children.
- Upload from Collbato to the shrine along a trail. Walk two hours and a strong one Ascesión for. This I did as a young man, and I save that for when my kids are a little big men ...
information. This route is more dangerous if it is not advisable for those who suffer from vertugi, tripping a lot, and of course young children ..
- Visiting Montserrat night. This is a great pleasure, in summer arrives when the temperatures climb, we take the car, some sandwiches, some drinks and about 7-8 of the evening we are going to Montserrat that we have about half an hour. The Shrine parking during the day is very cheap during these hours is free, and practical car park at the top. You can stroll to the top and do not find almost anyone, and therefore do not have that feeling of being in the wadi. Things make: for children from the top front of the entrance to the Hotel Abad Cisneros, a small playground, which can play a ratillo quietly while you relax, visit the shrine to the main entrance, go some of the viewpoints and see metropolitina Baix Llobregat area with its lights, and of course look at the stars if the night is clear.
To finish I comment that if you want A stay a day or more in Montserrat disponeis of what is called a cell. There are cells of all types and certainly not jail cells. Community cells are, which sleeps 20 or more people (usually hiking group), cells for smaller groups average cell with TV and kitchen, and then cells with more expensive restaurant.
Note. If you are going and the bakery of the sanctuary is open do not let's buy you a coke or more ... or take one of the stops with ricotta and honey ...
