We had a great time on...
We had a great time on trip. Took a bus from Barcelona, train up the mountain to Monserrat, then bus back to Barcelona. Guided tour of the church and black Madonna. The guide was amazing. During the free time portion, you really have a choice between taking the lift up the hill or going to the Cross. It would be hard to do both. We chose the cross. It was a 20 minute walk to the cross.
