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.

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.
