This was an experience to talk about. Monserrat was a complete surprise, We travelled up to Monastery in cable car, only to find that day the whole of Spain and Portugal went into a blackout and half of our group had to walk for 1 hour down the mountain, our guide Pierre handled the situation very well, arriving back in Barcelona with no traffic lights. This is a lovely site and worth the visit. Pierre was very knowledgeable however a microphone would have been nice For everyone to hear comentary.
