Montserrat is one of the most impressive and symbolic places in Spain, about an hour from Barcelona. Its name means “serrated mountain”, after the unique rock formations that create a dramatic, almost surreal landscape. At the top of the mountain stands the Benedictine monastery of Montserrat, founded in the 11th century in honour of the Mother of God. It is one of the most important spiritual centres in Catalonia. Here the famous sculpture of the Black Madonna (La Moreneta) is kept - the patron of Catalonia and an object of pilgrimage from all over the world.

According to one legend, in the 9th century some young shepherds were blessed with a divine vision. They saw a radiant light descending over Montserrat mountain and heard angelic voices. The phenomenon was repeated on several consecutive Saturdays. Later, the statue of the Black Virgin Mary was found in a cave at the top of the mountain.

A visit to Montserrat combines nature, history and spirituality - an experience that leaves a lasting memory and a sense of peace and inspiration.

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was a celebrated Surrealist artist of remarkable talent. He was, and remains, a unique phenomenon in the public life and culture of Spain. The Salvador Dalí Museum, which we will visit on this excursion, is in his home town of Figueres. The artist first conceived the idea in 1960, and until it opened 14 years later Dalí was entirely devoted to the project. In the eccentric pink building decorated with triangular bread rolls you can find a large part of his work, including some of his best-known pieces - surrealist sculptures and paintings, the avant-garde sofa in the shape of Mae West's scarlet lips, and many images of the artist's muse - his Gala (Elena Dyakonova, his irreplaceable and adored wife and adviser).

The excursion continues in Girona - a museum city and the capital of one of the four provinces of Catalonia. On the banks of the river Onyar, the city attracts thousands of visitors with its old architecture. It is a wonderful place where in less than a day you can enjoy all kinds of sights - from the medieval city walls, whose walkway reveals incredible views of the sleepy valley, through the narrow winding cobbled streets and passages of one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe and the 12th-century Arab baths, to the cathedral with the widest Gothic nave in the world, rising at the top of an imposing staircase. These cultural treasures create the authentic medieval atmosphere for which, in 2015, Girona was chosen as a filming location for one of the best-known modern series, “Game of Thrones”. The bridges over the Onyar, one of them designed by Eiffel himself, and the colourful houses along the river banks add to the charm of the Catalan city.

The city of Perpignan - the ancient capital of Roussillon - is only an hour and a half from the Costa Brava. It is one of the largest cities in southern France, with a population of more than 120,000. The main sights are in the city centre: the picturesque Le Castillet fortress - the symbol of the city - the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, the town hall housed in the medieval building of the maritime court, and many shops.

Very close to Perpignan, on the French Côte Vermeille (the Vermilion Coast), lies the pearl of this coast - the town of Collioure. In the Middle Ages the kings of Majorca chose it as their residence. At the end of the 17th century Vauban, military architect to King Louis XIV, built a fortress that is still important to the French armed forces today. Collioure's picturesque setting and wonderful views have always attracted many artists and poets; Cézanne, Chagall and Henri Matisse often stayed here.

This interesting trip to France will let you get to know its history and culture more closely.

This tour is designed to give you lasting memories of Barcelona's key sights. At the Sagrada Família we will stop for about 40 minutes to see the magnificent façades of the church from outside, with the guide's commentary. Under municipal rules the coach has to stop on Av. Diagonal, which means walking the 400 metres from the bus stop to the monument. We will pass along the Passeig de Gràcia, home to Gaudí's most famous houses: Casa Batlló and Casa Milà. On Montjuïc we will visit the Spanish Village (Poble Espanyol) - an architectural complex that brings together the spirit of all of Spain in one place. We will also be able to take panoramic photos from the Mirador de l'Alcalde - one of the best viewpoints over the city. We will then go down to the port and the Columbus Monument, where there will be free time to explore the famous Rambla or the Gothic Quarter.
