Puerto rico
Thinking about a place in which we would like to spend our holidays, we often “rack our brains”, sorting through thousands of Internet resources, guides and the opinions of acquaintances. In one place beautiful nature, incredible snow-white beaches, five-star hotels with excellent service, but ticket prices are so “biting” that you are unwillingly trying to come up with something else.

What is the connection between the world famous opera singer Montserrat Caballe and the spiritual center of the Catalan – Mount Montserrat? The Catalan tradition is such that every third girl is given the second name “Montserrat”, believing that this is a guarantee of future happiness and protection under the wing of the Holy Virgin. In this story, we share our impressions of visiting an amazing place in Spain – Montserrat Mountain, as well as tips, using which you will not make our mistakes.
This tour was, as they say, “for a snack” in our travel plan for Spain, on the last day before flying back to Russia. I must say that after traveling to Barcelona, the Salvador Dali Museum in Figueiros and several other towns of impressions were already over the edge, you can say too much. Therefore, we decided that an afternoon excursion to Montserrat would be quite enough, because on the last day I really wanted to Continue reading
