We are about to have a trip to the mountain of remarkable beauty – Montserrat, where Benedictine Monastery overlooks the landscapes. It is situated at the high of 721 m and is more than 800 years old. National shrine and protectress of Catalonia is kept here. This is the statue of the Virgin Mary (XII cent.) with the baby on the laps, which for her dark color of face and hands was named “Black Madonna”. Besides, you will get a unique possibility to listen to the signing of “angel-like” voices of Montserrat – to the local boys’ choir accompanied by organ. This music school was created in the XIV cent. and together with the boys’ choir is considered to be the oldest in Europe.
Also we will visit the miniature park, which is the only in Spain. It contains accurate mini-copies of the best 150 architectural attractions from the whole Catalonia: “gingerbread houses” from Park Guell, Casa Battló, Temple Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou (The Nou Camp) stadium in Barcelona, Museum of Salvador Dali in Figueres, ancient castles, railways with moving trains, aircraft, automobiles, mountains, rivers with steamers, little trees and many others. As the territory of the park is huge (approximately 25 thousand sq.m.) it is possible to travel around the territory by little tourist train.
