Like something out of a fairytale, the unique Montserrat mountain (Serrated Mountain) is one of the most important emblems of Catalonia. Albert's parents got married here some 40 years ago, and now we are going to get married here as well.

Montserrat is famous at an international level not only for its mystical moonscape appearance but also for the Black Virgin Madonna contained within the 16th century Benedictine Monastery. This small, wooden statue of a black Madonna and child was found in a nearby cave in the 12th century. Since then, her miraculous healing powers have attracted many visitors from all over the world. Below are a few pictures of the mountains, monastery, and the Black Virgin.
