The monastery clings to the side of the pink stone mountain of Montserrat, which means jagged mountain in Catalan. An aerial tram whisks you to the monastery --we were awed (or terrified) and forgot to take a picture on the way up. Home of the black virgin and one of Catalunya's most active pilgrimage sights the monastery is home to 30 monks and a world famous boy’s choir. Monsterrat monks are famous for their honey, nuts, a variety of liquors and handmade cheeses. We bought one of each.
