Easily reached in a day from Barcelona, Montserrat is not only the holiest pilgrimage place of Catalonia, but also a great area for hiking.
Montserrat is special for its location high up in the steep mountains, and apart from doing real climbing on the cliffs, it is possible to do many different hikes. I took a funicular further up the mountains at Sant Joan, and after enjoying the view off the top of the massif, I walked down the mountain, passing several small and isolated monasteries, until a gravel path took me to the chapel of Santa Cova. Santa Cova is built like a bird's nest against the vertical cliffs, and was the place where the statue of the Moreneta was hid for centuries. Certainly not an easy place to reach! From here, returning to Montserrat meant climbing the path, after which the cable car took me back to the bed of the valley.
