The Montserrat mountain surprises anyone who visits it for the first time and is an inexhaustible source of natural routes to discover. Once you reach the top the views are spectacular, the landscape becomes the viewpoint of Catalonia, from where you can see Mallorca on the clearest days.<\/p><p>To get to it, it can be done in two ways: Walking along a route that passes through the middle of the mountain, where you will enjoy the beautiful landscape, or with the Sant Jer\u00f3nimo Aerial Funicular. The first begins on some stairs that start to the left of the <i>Portal source<\/i>, west of the sanctuary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e5a1ed\" data-id=\"3e5a1ed\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f841875 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f841875\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Montserrat_Mountains_Catalonia_Spain_-_Jan_2007.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-318\" alt=\"sant jeroni\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Montserrat_Mountains_Catalonia_Spain_-_Jan_2007.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Montserrat_Mountains_Catalonia_Spain_-_Jan_2007-600x161.jpg 600w, https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Montserrat_Mountains_Catalonia_Spain_-_Jan_2007-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Montserrat_Mountains_Catalonia_Spain_-_Jan_2007-768x206.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9942c54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9942c54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/640px-Montserrat_panorama.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-317\" alt=\"sant jeroni ver en montserrat\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/640px-Montserrat_panorama.jpg 640w, https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/640px-Montserrat_panorama-600x144.jpg 600w, https:\/\/barcelonahelicopters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/640px-Montserrat_panorama-300x72.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47ff93e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"47ff93e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bde1b18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bde1b18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.

Its discovery turned the place into a pilgrimage center and led to the construction of the Montserrat Monastery.<\/p><p>Legend has it that in the year 880, on a Saturday night, some shepherd boys saw a great light descend from the sky, accompanied by a beautiful melody, which was placed halfway up the mountain. The following week they returned to their parents and the vision repeated itself. The same thing happens the following weeks with the company of the rector of Olesa de Montserrat. Aware of the event, the bishop of Manresa appeared; Then they found a cave in which the image of Saint Mary remained. They tried to transport it in a procession to Manresa, but the attempt was unsuccessful, so they understood the divine will: that image should be venerated on the mountain of Montserrat.<\/p><p>The Holy Cave is accessed through the Camino de la Santa Cueva, which is dug into the mountain, along the Montserrat Massif; It was built between 1691 and 1704 thanks to the patronage of Gertrudis de Camporrells, Marchioness of Tamarit. During your tour you can see the Monumental Rosary of Montserrat, a set of several sculptural groups dedicated to the Rosary and the fifteen mysteries of the Virgin, built between 1896 and 1916.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85f05f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"85f05f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9b0d04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e9b0d04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">8.

It is a flat and very entertaining path, ideal for doing with children. Flat, pleasant and you walk through mosaics that we find along the way praising virgins from various towns in Catalonia.<\/p><p>On the Degotalls path there are also a series of monuments that honor the memory of different intellectuals and cultural activists who made possible the recovery of national sentiment starting in the 19th century. At the entrance there is a monument dedicated to Jacinto Verdaguer, in front, we can read the &quot;Canci\u00f3n de la Moreneta&quot;. In a first version, this poem was written by the poet in the Montserrat visitors&#039; album, undated and hidden behind the generic signature of a mountain priest. Halfway along we will find a metal star dedicated to Anselm Mar\u00eda Clav\u00e9 who, in 1856, was the first to dedicate a poem to the Virgin, which later became a heart for his singers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c10e82b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c10e82b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9783e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a9783e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">10.
