One day on Montserrat

Montserrat.jpgIf you spend your holidays in Barcelona, you should definitely plan to go one day to Montserrat. This massif is located approximately 30km in the Northwest of Barcelona and has a height of 1200m. When you see the mountain the first time, you will be surprised about the unique and even bizarre shapes. The silhouette looks like a saw. It is assumed that the mountain is called "Montserrat" as it is the Catalan meaning for "sawn up mountain". But it is not only the shape why Montserrat should be visited. There is also a very old abbey that is worth to do a trip to this nice place. The best way to go there is from Plaza Espanya. There you take line R5 to Manresa. This line departs hourly. If you are looking for a Plaza Espanya apartment or in other neighborhoods of Barcelona, you will find a wide range of Barcelona apartments on BarcelonaPoint.
