Spaintrips

  • We pick up Hannah and then we're off to Montserrat!
  • After a train ride outside the city, we take a cable car to the top of Montserrat Mountain, the site of a Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary and which is identified by some with the location of the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth. We're on a mission to find it!
  • The ride gives us spectacular views of the valley below.
  • The Abbey sits just below the top of the mountain and is constructed mostly of pink sandstone.
