Ascend to this spectacular monastery perched on dramatic serrated mountain peaks where Benedictine monks have maintained spiritual traditions for over 1,000 years. Visit the basilica housing the Black Madonna (La Moreneta), Catalonia's patron saint, where pilgrims from around the world seek blessings and spiritual renewal. Listen to the famous Escolania boys' choir, one of Europe's oldest, performing Gregorian chant and traditional Catalan songs in the basilica's ethereal acoustics. Explore the monastery museum displaying religious art, archaeological artifacts, and contemporary works while learning about Benedictine monastic life and Catalan spiritual traditions. Take the funicular railway to higher mountain peaks offering panoramic views across Catalonia to the Pyrenees and Mediterranean, with hiking trails through unique rock formations and mountain flora. Traditional mountain restaurants serve hearty Catalan cuisine including grilled meats, mountain cheese, and regional wines while shops sell traditional crafts, religious items, and local honey produced by monastery bees.
