What to expect
You'll depart your hotel in a private vehicle and spend the morning wandering the cloisters and courtyards of Poblet—a working monastery that feels genuinely lived-in despite its age. Afterwards, drive to Igualada where the Pil Museum walks you through the mechanical and chemical processes that built the city's prosperity. By midday you'll reach Montserrat, climbing to the sanctuary nestled among boulder-strewn peaks, then head to the viewpoint to absorb the geology and scale of the place before settling for lunch with the landscape spread before you.
