Fall in love with the fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles in its basilica and sanctuary. Discover that the importance of the place is due to the legend that tells of the miraculous appearance of a representation of the Virgin with the baby Jesus in one of the caves of the mountain, the<em>Holy Cova</em>. Visit this wooden carving, kept today in the monastery Church. The figure is popularly known as <em>La Moreneta</em> due to a reaction of the varnish over time, which has darkened it.</p> <p>Montserrat is very linked to spirituality. Today a community of 80 monks inhabit the place following the rule of Saint Benedict. For this reason, in addition to the main monastery, the mountain is home to a large number of churches and hermitages, some already abandoned. Your guided tour includes the ride on the rack railway, the tasting of excellent typical liquors, the visit to the Audiovisual Space and access to the Moreneta.
