Former gateway for pilgrims to the mountain of Montserrat, Monistrol de Montserrat is must stop in Bages. Its historical legacy can be seen in its old town centre, where you can see medieval, Gothic and modernist-inspired buildings, such as the bridge over the Llobregat river or the noble houses on both sides of the central street of Sant Joan; a street that dresses up in October for the Fira de la Coca i el Mató.

At the foot of Montserrat, Monistrol is the starting point for the ascent to the abbey, either by the rack railway or by taking one of the paths and trails that lead to it, enjoying incomparable views of this natural setting.
