This full-day tour focuses on two well-known sites near Barcelona: the Montserrat mountain and the coastal town of Sitges. The day begins with a meeting at Passeig de Gracia, a central boulevard known for its modernist buildings like Casa Batlló and Casa Milà. After about an hour’s drive by air-conditioned minivan, the group arrives at Montserrat. At Montserrat, the guide leads a tour of the Benedictine Monastery, including the basilica and the atrium, highlighting its religious and cultural significance. Following the monastery visit, participants take an easy walk to St Michael's cross, enjoying the mountain’s unique geological formations, Mediterranean plants, and possible wildlife sightings. After the hike, there is a 45-minute free period to explore the local farmers market and cafeterias. Next, the group travels to Sitges on the Garraf Coastal Road, a scenic route along the Mediterranean Sea. Upon arrival, there is time for lunch at local restaurants in Sitges old town (own expense), where the guide can suggest options including vegan and gluten-free dishes. Afterwards, a guided walking tour of Sitges begins at Racó de la Calma, continues to the Palau Maricel, and finishes at the Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, illustrating the town’s architecture and history. The tour ends with about an hour’s return trip to Barcelona, arriving back at the original meeting point. The total duration is around nine hours and the group size is limited to eight people.
