Barcelona / Catalonia

1

With a soaring cathedral, wondrous art, splendid beaches and an eclectic nightlife, the dynamic city of Barcelona is a 'must' to visit. However, 45 km west lies the rocky Montserrat Mountains and an exquisite Benedictine monastery, home of the ‘Black Virgin’, one of Spain’s most revered icons. However, there is much more to see in the four provinces of Catalonia - rugged landscapes and Pyrenean mountain peaks abound, then there are the vineyards, mature reserves, medieval villages and the jewel of the region, the broad and sandy beaches of the Costa Brava.
