During my visit in Spain, I had the chance to visit Montserrat. The view from the top of the hill is stunning. The old town is also full of tradition. I guarantee you will spend quality time wether you are here alone or with your loved ones. Great place to be. #wintergetaway

Why is the Montserrat Monastery the soul of the Catalans?
First of all, from the difference between the monastery and the church. During the turmoil of the Dark Ages, a small number of Christians who were firmly dedicated to religion left the society to live a hermit life on the edge of a desolate and daunting civilization. The behavior of the hermit evokes more stale priests to swear to pay attention to poverty and dedication, and to re-listen to the teachings. As the name suggests, the monastery is a place to abandon the bustling and cleansing of the world, and it is also a base for cultivating clergy. The church is a carrier of religion, both large and small, and it is responsible for the religious rituals and religious practices of the local people. In the eyes of the people, the monastery is more sacred and pure, and many people are more willing to visit the monastery to gain peace of mind. With a respectful heart, we visited this thousand-year-old monastery. The interior decoration, chandeliers, sculptures, and color windows all retain the Christian style and beauty. Exquisite but extremely atmospheric.

The monastery is located on the Monserrate hill on the outskirts of Barcelona, a religious sanctuary in Spain. The square in front of the monastery is very large, and the sculptures on the square and the sculptures on the gate of the monastery are very delicate. There is a black-faced Maria, Gaudí's sculpture, and a juvenile choir at noon. Not only is it solemn and beautiful, but also the scenery is beautiful, like a paradise and a fairyland on earth.
Montserrat is 60 kilometers away from Barcelona and takes about an hour by train. It is a stone mountain made of volcanic rocks. Take the R5 train at ESPANYA in Barcelona. The Montserrat area is not large, and you will reach the entrance of the monastery by going out by cable car. The entrance is in the middle of the two buildings. The outer building of the monastery is not conspicuous and quite simple, and the inner courtyard is more luxurious. There are statues of the twelve disciples of Jesus and the entrance to the monastery on the right side of the inner courtyard. You can line up for the pilgrimage to the Virgin of the Black Face. Legend has it that spinning the ball in the hands of the Black-faced Madonna can get good luck.
The Montserrat Monastery is actually not in the urban area of Barcelona, but in the outskirts more than 60 kilometers away from the urban area. The monastery is surrounded by mountains and the surrounding natural scenery is beautiful and it is a very peaceful attraction.
I bought a package of 29.5 euros in the past, I personally think there is nothing to see, unless you like climbing, the price is not high. There are many places like this in China, but the husband thinks it is good, and the wind is blowing.
