Barcelona and Montserrat - Full Day Tour

This full day of travel combines the Montserrat tour with the Barcelona Cultural trip. 

We start the morning by driving through picturesque little villages before we arrive at the incomparable setting of the impressive mountain range of Montserrat, which rises majestically from the plains to 4,051 feet (1,235 meters) and offers spectacular views.

The basilica of Montserrat has been one of Spain's most important pilgrimage sites for hundreds of years because of its famous 12th-century Romanesque carving of the the Black Virgin.  In the afternoon we return to Barcelona for a cultural city tour...
 

Discover fabulous architecture by the world-famous Antoni Gaudi. A professional English and Spanish speaking guide will accompany us as we explore the UNESCO-listed Parc Guell (Guell Park) and Barcelona's most famous landmark, La Sagrada Familia.

The Cultural tour of Barcelona begins along Paseo de Gracia to at Gaudi's most famous apartment buildings, Casa Batllo and La Pedrera. Then we can enjoy a 30-minute visit at Gaudi's bizarre Parc Guell, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Then it is onwards to Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Cathedral, Barcelona's most famous landmark. We will have another 30 minutes to explore this noteworthy structure.

Next we continue to visit Barcelona's Monumental Bull Ring and the famous Cathedral Santa Maria del Mar, the only Gothic church in Catalonia which is completely finished. The tour ends near the Picasso Museum, exhibiting works from the world-famous painter (ticket is not included but you can continue to explore on your own if wanted).
