More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the train and the mountain welcomes you as a cluster of towering serrated rocks—Montserrat’s famous aigües—rise like an ancient city of stone. Wind pushes through narrow gullies; the cable car hums and then releases you at the top, where the valley stretches away in patchwork fields and blue Catalan sky.
