Montserrat Cable Car: Descent and Ascent

You simply can't leave Barcelona without climbing the magical Montserrat cable car. Enjoy direct access to the Montserrat cable car, just one hour away from the city, and make an unforgettable ascent into the Catalonian skies. * The Montserrat cable car has been taking tourists on a sky ride since 1930. It's the best way to get spectacular, panoramic views of the rugged Catalan countryside, and also the easiest way to reach the Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat and its famous statue of the Virgin of Montserrat. * Montserrat has been a place of pilgrimage for almost a thousand years. Fortunately, thanks to the cable car, the days of scrambling up the rocky mountain like they did in the Middle Ages are over!
