The Montserrat and Cava Tour combines a visit to the beautiful Montserrat mountain west of Barcelona and the Freixenet Company, the biggest producer of champagne (in Spanish:
Cava) in the world.
Over the years Montserrat has been the goal not only for thousands of pilgrims. Architects like Antoni Gaudí and Jean Nouvel have been inspired by the unique forms of the rocks and by the beautiful natural park on the mountain. So you will be able to recognize the special forms of the mountain rocks in several buildings in Barcelona.
On a shiny day you will be able to see Barcelona from the top of the mountain, and if the sky is clear it is even possible to see all the way to Mallorca from atop the mountain. But furthermost, on the mountain you will be able to see the incredible monastery built over centuries and the Black Madonna ("la moreneta" as locals call her), the goal of thousands of pilgrims for centuries. If you come at the right time you will be able to hear the boys' choir sing - the choir is the oldest of its kind in the world.
Freixenet's cava is world famous - stars like Liza Minnelli and Antonio Banderas have participated in their commercials - and the cellars contain around 100 million bottles, making Freixenet the world’s 9th biggest company in the wine business. On the tour you will both be able to taste the cava, see the production and take a ride through the wine cellars in a mini train.
