Montserrat is a mountain near Barcelona and on the top sits a monastery called Santa Maria de Montserrat. From Barcelona it is a train ride and then a cable car ride up the mountain at 4,000 ft above sea level. The mountain's name translates to jagged rock. The monastery is also home to the world's oldest publishing press which dates back to 1499. The view from the top is quite spectacular.
Rocio recommended that a dish to try at the top. Goat cheese and honey which is sold in a market area near the monastery. Nick, Mike and I end up hiking around the mountain and then checking out the monastery before hurrying down to catch the last train out and back to Barcelona.
