PART 1 Montserrat with Cog-wheel Train
Ascent on Montserrat on board a cog-wheel train and get exceptional views of the surroundings from this majestic mountain. Montserrat rises majestically to 4,051 feet (1,235 meters).
Next, visit the Royal Basilica of Montserrat, which holds the famous 12th century Romanesque carving of Virgen Moreneta, the Black Virgin. The Royal Basilica has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Spain for hundreds of years.
On some days the children's choir sings in the monastery at midday, and so you may be fortunate enough to catch one of their delightful performances.
The price includes a taste of 4 typical liquors of Montserrat and entrance free to the audiovisual "Montserrat Portes Endins."
Then it's off to see the works of Spanish masters Gaudi and Picasso.
PART 2 Artisitic City Sightseeing
Gaudi, one of the greatest innovators of his time, has left behind numerous treasures for the discerning tourist to discover in Barcelona. Tour starts along Paseo de Gracia to see Gaudi's famous apartment buildings including Casa Batllo and La Pedrera.
Then enjoy a 30-minute visit at Gaudi's bizarre Parc Guell which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Keep an eye on your watch, it's easy to get lost in the whimsical design of this bizarre but compelling public park.
Continue to the La Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Cathedral, Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece which is Barcelona's most famous landmark, where you will stop for around 30 minutes.
You will also visit Barcelona's the famous Sta María del Mar, the only gothic church in Catalonia completely finished. The tour ends near the Picasso Museum which exhibits works from the blue and pink periods of the world-famous painter.
