2023 European adventure - day 20 (20 September)

Day trip to Montserrat. Fabulous day. Started by engaging with the very complicated Barcelona Metro and successfully managed a line change to reach the meeting point. Coach drive of one hour to the "serrated mointain" and that's exactly how it looks! Big climb up to the village and Benedictine Abbey which are of course very impressive. Morning tea of mozzarella cheese covered In honey - very tasty. Took a tour of the Abbey after listening to the resident boys choir singing (beautifully of course). InterInteresting trip down the mountain - we took a cable car 750 metres down to meet our bus which took us to lunch. Beautiful traditional Catalonian lamb, sausage, wine, bread, gar.ic, champagne etc - absolutely beautiful. Back to town about 6 - didn't need dinner after that amazing lunch so relaxing night sorting out how to get to starting point for tomorrow's cycle tour of the city.
