Beat Montserrat crowds on an early van trip from Barcelona: Abbey and Black Madonna first, then a local hiking loop with views.
“Highly recommended trip! In the morning there is no crowd, it’s a wonderful time to hike, the views are amazing. Our guide Albert told us many interesting things about Barcelona and Monserrat and he was really well organised, punctual and friendly. His mini van is brand new and full of great books about surroundings - at least riffle it! Taste local liquers after the hike :) And take closed shoes - I did it in Teva sandals but it’s probably not a good idea unless you’re in shape and used to it.”
