Colorful excursion to Montserrat

 A Colorful excursion to Montserrat is one of the top things to do in Barcelona. You'll experience the heavenly mountain range and the peaceful atmosphere of the monastery. You'll have the chance to pray to the Black Madonna and hike up to the mountain to catch the sunrise. You'll see artistic masterpieces and listen to a boy choir. If you have time, you can also visit the island's botanical gardens and learn more about the local flora and fauna.

Getting to Montserrat is easy. Take a train to the foot of the mountain and get on a rack railway or cable car. Then, take a taxi to the Placa d'Espana station. Once you've arrived at the station, look for route R5 (Manresa). The road is well marked, but if you don't know where it's going, you can ask at an information booth to find the correct route.

The most informative excursions can be ordered on the website excurzilla.com, and the best prices for car rentals are available only on bookingauto.com

Once on Montserrat, you can explore the island's history and culture. You can view the island's ruins and see the Virgin Mary's cradle, where she conceived her son. There are several museums and churches in Montserrat that you can visit. The best place to see the city's most iconic buildings is in the centre of the capital, Barcelona. A trip to the island's quaint streets is a must for every tourist to appreciate its beauty.

While the cable car and rack railway are excellent ways to reach the Monastery, the cable car is probably the best option if you're traveling light. You'll be able to enjoy the panoramic view of the city while riding the cable car up to the summit. The views are stunning from the top! But the views of Catalonia and Mallorca are not quite as dramatic as the St. Michael's cross.

If you're looking for an authentic experience of the island's cultural heritage, then a day trip to Montserrat should be on your list. It's just a short drive from Barcelona. It's also an excellent day trip destination. Usually, it's a popular destination for alpinists and cultural tourists. It's easy to get there from the city, but the traffic can be very large.

Visiting the Montserrat Cathedral is a must. You can visit the Black Madonna and the monastery, as well as the Basilica of the Black Madonna. The cathedral is the main attraction of the island, and the basilica is a must-see for anyone visiting the island. If you're not sure where to begin, you can check out the website for a tour company. You'll be surprised by the amount of cultural treasures you can see in such a small area.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
