Montserrat

If you ever have the opportunity to come to Barcelona, you MUST visit Montserrat.  It is a mountain chain just outside of BCN and it is truly amazing. It is mostly famous for the Benedictine abbey that is located on the mountain side. It is called Santa Maria de Montserrat which houses the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary.  Many people believe this is where the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth is located.

Also, just the sheer immenseness of the mountain had us in awe. It really makes you think about how much natural beauty there is in the world.
