Mountains, coast, and the shifting mood of Catalonia.
This full-day tour brings together two very different sides of Catalonia in one well-balanced day.
We begin by traveling into the mountains to Montserrat, where dramatic rock formations, wide views, and an old monastery create a sense of space and reflection.
We visit the monastery and basilica, walk through the surroundings, and speak about Montserrat as a spiritual, cultural, and historical landmark of Catalonia.
After time in the mountains, the route leads us down toward the sea and the coastal town of Sitges.
Here the atmosphere shifts completely — palm-lined promenades, open beaches, and an elegant seaside town shaped by artists, travelers, and local traditions.
This tour is about contrast and harmony, moving naturally from height to horizon, from silence to seaside life.
