Day 1

Barcelona to Andorra

 

    • Abadia de Montserrat
      After pickup, we’ll drive to the breathtaking Montserrat Sanctuary, about an hour from Barcelona. I’ll share the rich history of this site, home to Our Lady of Montserrat (880) and the Montserrat Abbey (1025). We’ll have plenty of photo opportunities and sample the traditional cheese known as mató with honey. For the adventurous, there’s an option to hike to the Saint Michael Cross for stunning views. Daily mass is at 11 AM (optional), and on weekdays at 1 PM (12 PM on Sundays), the choir performs beautiful hymns. We’ll enjoy a delicious lunch featuring local vegetables and meats in the valley nearby.

      After lunch, we’ll head to Andorra to visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady Meritxell, the Patron Saint of Andorra. If time permits, we’ll explore the sanctuary; otherwise, we may visit it the next day. The original sanctuary burned down in 1972, and a new one was constructed by architect Ricardo Bofill in 1976.
