Details of the Excursion
We'll convene at Carrer de Martí i Franquès, 21 at the designated time and set off from Barcelona for an unforgettable adventure.
A comfortable bus will transport us directly to Montserrat, home to the most emblematic peak in Catalonia and one of Spain's notable monasteries.

Following this break, we will depart from the city and head along the Costa Brava.
