Breathtaking Montserrat!

Words and pictures can't do justice to this beautiful place amidst the clouds. 50 kms away from Barcelona and up the mountain is the serene and calm Monastery of Montserrat. I have never been to the monasteries in the North-East India, but I have heard a lot about them and I experienced it for the first time here outside India and thought it was thorough bliss. I was on my own and spent the whole day hiking mountains, sitting in the basilica, listening to the boys choir, befriending and spending some time with 2 Chinese students and a bit of shopping and eating. If you happen to visit Barcelona, do not miss a visit to Montserrat. Thanks to my sister for this recommendation. Loved it to the core!
