Easily reached in a day from Barcelona, Montserrat is not only the holiest pilgrimage place of Catalonia, but also a great area for hiking.
A train can take you directly from Barcelona to Montserrat some 40 km away - the last stretch up has to be made either by cable car or rack-and-pinion from below in the valley. Waiting for the cable car, you are dwarfed and impressed by the mountains looming over you right across the valley. The magnitude of the place is underlined when the yellow cable car comes down, and you can measure the size of the cliffs. You appreciate how difficult it must have been to reach the monastery in old times, and how well protected it was. A comfortable ride up takes you to the plaza of Montserrat.
