Hiking up Montserrat is a breathtaking experience that comes highly recommended. However, if you want to survive after the hike, make sure you’ve planned relaxing days that follow. Maybe take a trip to Barcelona and do a hop-on, hop-off bus adventure or hang out at the campsite with your feet up because this is a strenuous hike.
If you’d rather save your legs and energy, there is no shame in taking the cable car or aeri up and down the mountain. Don’t skip this day trip though because it’s really amazing, especially if you love nature.
