Top Spain Day Trips

I highly recommend visiting Montserrat, it is beautiful, historic and a religious pilgrimage site. The tour left from the travel stand at the Barcelona Nord bus station. (This wasn’t really mentioned in the meet up instructions) but it made sense once we got there. It was a large bus of people with two tour guides and points of interest mentioned in several languages. Once at the site the group takes the train ride up to the compound up in the hills. Our guide seemed a little disorganized as they tried to get the site to take us earlier, and then once denied we had to go back anyway. I’m not sure what benefit it was going to have, but we had plenty of free time to do everything there, hike, see the black Madonna, shop, enjoy the view and eat lunch. We were happy and would recommend to others

Was called the night before for pickup instructions. On the day of pickup, was very punctual. Our tour guide Diego was very knowledgeable, our tour was in English but he also knows Spanish and Catalan. Very kind and warm, the tour felt very personal although it was a group tour, Diego went above and beyond navigating through places, giving us information of the sites and history. We even went inside a church at Terragona and one of the locals even gave Diego and us more info on they're small town and church history. The tour was definitely worth it. Will recommend to future travelers.

Montserrat is a must see. The Basilica is impressive, beautiful, holy and much more! The views from the monastery are stunning. Really worth the time. Our guide Francisco was top notch, giving us historical perspectives that can only come from a lot of reading and memorization. One of the best guides I have had the pleasure of meeting! Try to attend mass if possible, it’s very reverent, holy, moving and much more.
