We walk up to Montserrat, from where we enjoy the stunning views from the Natural Park of Montserrat and the rest of Catalonia from a bird´s eye view.
During the walk we are on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago, we get inspired by Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna and we experience unique ways where rocky pillars and ravines show us how inner mysterious water emerge from the hidden center of the massif.
Later on we head to the ranch, where we enjoy an unforgettable experience on horseback over the stunning countryside at Montserrat’s National Park. We follow a three Romanesque hermitages route while we are amused by this unique and sawtooth mountain range.

5.00I had a great time! My favorite things were: - the small group setting (ended up being 7 - and it was all girls so it turned into a cute girls trip) - The ranch. Very sweet ranch owners. I appreciate them for opening up their space to us. NOTE - please respect the space and do not take photos until you are told it is ok. 🙂 - The History & Walk. I hit 15K steps this day, learned a lot, and was grateful to be in the spiritual space of a very unique Monastery (in my opinion). - The outside market and souvenir shops are differently worth the gander
my very first guided tour

5.00At first I was a bit hesitant booking a guided tour on my own, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Everything was well organised and in the small group there were plenty of possibilities to get in touch with new people from around the world. Our guide David was very knowledgeable and funny. He created a good atmosphere and gave good recommendations for other spots in Barcelona. Overall the trip was an enjoyable mix of riding, hiking and sightseeing. The only criticism could be, that it should have been much longer :D No prior skills needed - even newbies like me did it!
Very nice excursion.

3.00We started the excursion with horse back riding which I really enjoy it. Riding on a horse was the very first time for me but it all went superb. Afterwards we went to the monastery of Montserrat. Finally we did a short hike. In general we had a great day !
Great day trip!

5.00This was such a fun and unique day trip! The mountains were breathtaking and our guide was extremely informative and kind. The horseback riding was super fun! The guides there were so helpful and reassuring as some of us in the group had never even ridden a horse. Truly a wonderful time!
An unforgettable memory

5.00Had a fantastic time on this trip to Montserrat with horse riding. Our guide Frank was lovely and looked after us very well - he knew a lot about the monastery. The horses looked well looked after and the views on the trek were stunning. Transport was comfortable and air conditioned. If I had more time in Barcelona I would definitely go again! Thank you
Stunning views everywhere you go.

5.00This journey was an amazing time. I went with my sisters and girlfriend and had a blast. The horseback riding was amazing with beautiful views of Monserrat mountain the whole time. The monastery was also amazing with beautiful views of the valley and mountains.

5.00Our guide, Juan, was super nice and helpful. The horses were gentle and well taken care of. This is a great choice for anyone looking for a nice relaxing trail ride through the beautiful Catalonian countryside followed by a visit to one of the most stunning gothic basilicas out there.
Breathtaking Montserrat
