99. Hike Montserrat, Spain
For those not in the know, Montserrat is a rugged mountain range located in Catalonia. In fact, the word “Montserrat” is roughly “saw mountain” in Catalan. It is thus named because the range has a sawtooth-like appearance.
This day hike is a point-to-point hike with a distance of five kilometers. It is moderately difficult and requires less than two hours to complete. If you’re staying in Barcelona, you can take a train to the area and then either take another train into the mountains, ride a cable car, or hike up on foot.
If you’re feeling athletic enough, hike to the monastery. The hike there is relatively short and quite memorable. Feeling even more energetic? Hike to Sant Jeroni or the Santa Cova Chapel too!
