Monserrat Mountain is a must see if you like nature and hiking. Known for being a holy mountain, there you have amazing views and It's easy to get to the Montserrat Benedictine monastery by yourself. You don't need a tour. Montserrat ("serrated mountain") is an hour's journey by FGC train from Barcelona's Placa d'Espanya station. Take the R5 line in the direction of Manresa. The train departs about every hour.
