Monteserrat

We visited the Monastery of Monteserrat, Benedictine monks currently live here. It was destroyed and rebuilt in 1844. We did the big hike....pretty hot and a LONG way up but we made it! Besides what would a vacation be without a good hike?!


It is very hard to see but right in the top center you can just barely see the cross - that's where we hiked.

This is the chapel, as with many European chapels/cathedrals, is very ornate and in my opinion grossly over the top inside.

This was a small chapel on the side of the mountain, this was on our way up to the top. It was very peaceful inside.
The inside :)

We're making our way back down....this was our view of the monastery.
