MONTSERRAT, SEGRADA MOUNTAIN AND NATURAL AREA

The appearance of the Montserrat mountain has given it, since time immemorial, the label of symbol, an emblem for Catalans and with great religious weight, since the image of La Moreneta, the patron saint of Catalonia, is venerated at its monastery. But Montserrat has many other remarkable aspects, and one of them is the natural one: under its arid and rocky appearance, when one enters, one discovers a lively vegetation, full of nuances and ideal for hiking, and with a also varied fauna. The Natural Park extends for 3,630 hectares, and its highest peak is San Jerónimo, 1,236 meters above sea level.
