Montserrat
This past week, a few of us traveled to Montserrat, a mountain near Barcelona. The journey began early in the morning taking the train out to the base of the mountain. We were lifted by the Aeri de Montserrat cable car about half-way up to the height of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat. After visiting the church, we took the Monserrat Rack Railway up to the walking paths near the peaks 1,236 meters or 4,055 feet above sea level. We spent some time hiking the trails, making our way up to the top of the peaks, taking in the beautiful scenery and fresh air. We then took the Railway down to the Santa Cova, a church that was built around a cave where visions of the Virgin Mary have been seen. We spent the entire day there walking the trails and enjoying this little city in the sky.
