A pale light breaks across the jagged shoulders of Montserrat as the Mercedes eases up the switchbacks—rock faces jutting like the teeth of an ancient gear. The bus drops travelers at the monastery plaza and the air smells of pine, dust and sea far below; gulls wheel over Sitges later in the day, daring the visitor to slow down.
