Barcelona Instagram Spots!#2023TravelWish Discover Catalonia! Here are my suggested spots for your snaps! La Sagrada Familia Montserrat La Rambla Casa Battlo Go ahead and make the most of your trip! You can never go wrong with your angles if you wander around before the day tours begin. I suggest, you go early…I was blown away with the architecture even when I was drowsy! Truly, Barcelona was a good choice! For my next travel, I would like to visit Toledo, Spain. That place is magical! And laid back! #MyTripVlogLatenightalumna33

Up in the sky @ Monasterio de MontserratMaybe going up high in a cogwheel train through sharp rocks with limited visibility isn't for the faint-hearted. But it is all WORTH IT once you get to the top of this Montserrat Monastery - perched up on top of a cliff like a bird's nest. Arriving at Montserrat Monastery, you have an indescribable view all the way to Barcelona. The monastery of Montserrat itself is not a special attraction from an architectural point of view, the scenery into which the walls were built is inspiring. Many of the tourists come just for the statue of the Black Madonna, patron saint of Catalonia. In the Montserrat Monastery Museum you can see works by important artists such as Dalí, El Greco, Monet and Giordano. You will also find archaeological and liturgical exhibits. In the lower part of the monastery area there is a restaurant where you can eat and drink quite cheaply. #tripblazers #myvlogtripAninnnn8

relaxing and enriching day at Montserratwonderful and one of a kind place to visit as a day trip from Barcelona. there is a famous monastery to visit and lots of trekking trails if you have time and energy to spend at this place. you can easily spend the whole day here if you decide to do all the trails if you buy the combined ticket for transport, entry and food, you get free access to some of the places and also on all the funiculars. there will also be a buffet lunch thrown in, nothing fantastic but have a good variety with free flow wine and beer. the cable car funicular ride to Montserrat will take you through amazing terrain with a great view. worth the price and time #montserrat #barcelona #spainWinwin8214

Black Madonna#bucketlistreboot There are various ways to reach here, by car: it is only 60 kilometers away from Barcelona, by train: from Espanya Station to the lower station of Monsterrat, then continue by cablecar or rackrail. The Black Madonna was believed to have been carved in Jerusalem at the beginning of the religion. You will join in the line with a group of people, making the best opportunity to take in your surroundings. It is a wooden sculpture, it is one of the most famous Black Madonna in the World. Whether you are religious or not, visiting the Black Madonna at Montserrat is a spiritual and worthwhile experience.Raymond TCY1

If you are at Montserrat for a religious pilgrimage, you will move by the spirituality of the place. If you are hoping to hear the choir sing, you will get the opportunity to hear the choir sing.Raymond TCY3

The natural beauty surrounding the monastery is simply breathtaking. If you enjoy walking, there are some interesting walks through mountains where you experience magnificent views of usual rocks. formations in Catalonia. For some people, the visit is for a religious pilgrimage, for some people, the visit is for the view of the magnificent rock view.Raymond TCY1

Montserrat - Multi-Peaker Mountain RangeWhen I was looking for places to go in Barcelona, I came across Montserrat. This place looked so beautiful in pictures and thus off I go. I have been to a few mountain areas and sometimes I felt they looked the same. Not. For Montserrat. The rock structure is different from others. When I got to the mountain top, I got have a sweeping view. The view was spectacular. It was a sunny day and it made the photos I took even more beautiful with the sunshine. Not forgetting the blue sky and clouds which made the pictures awesome too. I was really pleased with the photos I took #bucketlistreboot #barcelona #montserratBret Huat1
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.Yoki Huang.

Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat Montserrat From the monastery's square, overlooking Barcelona's city buildings, where Gaudi's Sagrada Familia stands tall among all the buildings.
Even if the road is a bit difficult, it will be so savage after arriving... such a place! It is clear that if you have a leisurely schedule in Barcelona and have religion, it is a place you will not regret when you visit.
The monastery is located on the hill of Montserrat, just outside Barcelona, a religious site in Spain. The square in front of the monastery is very large, and the sculptures on the square and the sculptures on the upper floor of the monastery are very delicate. There is black-faced Maria, there are Gaudi sculptures, and there is a juvenile choir at noon, not only solemn, but also beautiful scenery, like a paradise, a fairyland on earth.
