Easily reached in a day from Barcelona, Montserrat is not only the holiest pilgrimage place of Catalonia, but also a great area for hiking.
The Montserrat monastery holds a sacred statue of a black Madonna, or Moreneta, in the shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat, supposedly made in 50 CE by St. Luke. I directly headed to the monastery, and after looking at the monastery I took a side entrance and walked up the stairs to reach the small statue. This is probably the holiest place of Catalonia, people queue to touch the statue and pray for a miracle. Newly weds are especially inclined to come here, and incidentally, Montserrat is a popular name for girls in Catalonia. The statue resides above the altar of the basilica, and behind it, you can also go to a small chapel with beautiful stained glass windows.
