Idyll and contemplation at Montserrat
The Santa Maria de Montserrat monastery is idyllically situated at the top of the same name mountain, in the heart of Catalonia. This very day the monastery shines in its medieval charm. Today approximately 80 monks live behind the monastery walls.
The principal reason for going on a pilgrimage is the visit of "La Moreneta", the virgin of Montserrat, a Romanesque sculpture in wood from the late 12th century.
There are nice and comfortable hotels in Costa Dorada in a convenient distance from the Santa Maria de Montserrat monastery. Plan on booking your hotel in Costa Dorada e.g. the beautiful Hotel Costa Dorada Palace.
The 4-star Hotel is situated in Salou, just 500 meters from the nearest beach. Port Aventura is only 1 km away.
