Ascend into the jagged mountains outside Barcelona to a centuries-old monastery, home to the Black Madonna and a legendary boys' choir.
What to expect
You'll ride the cable car or rack railway up through dramatic rock formations to the monastery perched on the mountainside. Inside the basilica, you can view the revered Black Madonna statue and, on select days, hear the boys' choir performance. Time remains to walk mountain trails with sweeping valley views before heading back down.

Good to know
Choir performances happen only on specific weekday times — check the schedule before booking. The round trip takes about 4-5 hours total including transport, so this suits ports with a full day in Barcelona.
