    We enjoyed the walk from Montserrat Monastery to The Holy Grotto. Walking distance: 1.5 km Difficulty: low The Montserrat tourist guide says that this was St. Michael's path. Great areas of interest along the way.

    Quite nice for what it is. We drove there and it's only an hour away from Barcelona. Nice change of landscape being on top of the mountain at 1200m. There are plenty cafes and also a shop at the top. Relaxing experience for a short city break.

    A serene and beautiful place. The walk along the cliffside path is easy and offers some of the best views of the Valley. The Santa Cova Fenicular will take you towards here from the Montserrat village. Found the "TransMonstserrat" ticket easy for rides on all the Montserrat Fenicular and Rack railway.

    Very beautiful monastery on a mountain top, the exterior architecture and interior architecture are stunning. It’s quite a trip to get here, they have a gondola that takes you up to the top ever further. You will not regret visiting this place. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

    Worth the trek, beautiful sculptures on the way and the chapel at the end feels special. We took the cable car which saved the steepest part. All in it was a little over an hour from the cable car start at Montserrat (10 mins) and then about 45 mins of walking there and back.

    Visiting this place was an incredible but tiring experience. You have to walk up and down stairs to get there for around 30-50 minutes. I suggest taking your time, mainly because it's very tiring, but also because it has beautiful views along the way. P.s. I happened to leave my number on the side of the mountain where there's a lot of scribbling from other people. Give me a call if you want😆

    Could not reach the cave. We took funicular from monastery to caves which was just 2 minutes ride. After getting down from funicular we walked mins but did not reach the caves. The walking path is good but very tiring. Fenicular ride was useless because there is lot more to hike.

    Nice hike from Montserrat. It's a holy place, the community's reverence for the place is quite visible. Worth a visit.

    Great walk!! All paved but quite a few steps - not for wheelchairs. The vignettes along the way to the chapel are really beautiful, and it's almost like a Via Cruces kind of thing. Take your time to enjoy the amazing views!! There was no restroom at the chapel (at least there wasn't when we arrived) so be sure to go at one of the cafes before you start your hike. (There is a turnoff for Collbató where it looks like desperate "pee-ers" have gone before, as it's hidden from view just down the path, but better to go before!)

    Nice hike from the other monastery to this church. I enjoyed the beautiful art detailing the life of Christ along the way. Also beautiful views of the valley. Worth the detour!

    A really short 25 minute walk TOPS from the monastry! The route was walkable albeit hilly and rocky. There were bins and walls to rest on in case one got tired. The view was lovely and a definite must do for anyone visiting Montserrat.

    Awesome place. Location is to Spaniards as Meca is to Muslims. Recommend two days to visit to get the full experience.

    Where the story told that was found the virgen. Great walk from Montserrat Church to there!

    Very pretty views and cute buildings. Very religious and not very vegan friendly… If you have good legs and just want a quick look, you have 30min to go and come back for free - hard to do but not impossible (my partner and I made it with a few minutes to spare - running a bit of course).

    A wonderful short trip to a small church. It took us 1 hour there and back without stops, but at a medium walking speed. You get some nice views of the monastery from the side and bottom. I can recommend it. There are quite some stairs and a part of the way is steep.

    We saved this spot for the end of our Monteserrat day and it was totally worth it. The way back was a bit tough though but fair. Nice people on the road and a great view.

    An amazing trip out of Barcelona and well worth a visit. This place looks beautiful in photos but it went well above expectations. The walks around this mountain are great

    Serene and beautiful little chapel about a forty minute hike from the Montserrat basilica. Where the statue of Our Lady of Montserrat was discovered by the shepherds in 880 AD.
