An hour from Barcelona, the saw-toothed massif of Montserrat rises straight out of the plain, with a Benedictine monastery folded into its rock. Seen from the basilica, from its trails and from the vineyards below, it is a different mountain each time.

A Mercedes V-Class is at your disposal for nine hours, and your private guide meets you at your accommodation. On the mountain, your guide tells the story of the monastery and the Black Madonna and shows you its rock formations and viewpoints — and the stories few visitors hear. After the visit you continue at your own pace to a winery restaurant for lunch, with Montserrat on the horizon.
