15th of November, 2017.
The other day I went to Montserrat. I took the trail since Monistrol until the Monastery, around two hours walking, and because it can get very steep sometimes, I would say it might not be everyone. Of course you have the option of take the train all the way up to the Monastery.
It is a wonderful trail though, and I really enjoy it! It is truly gorgeous up there! I also had great experiences, like being followed by a baby boar; having found 4 deer, including one that just looked like Bambi and a male with long horns. And also I had a lot of talking with myself and creating weird situations in my head (as usual when I am alone).
The whole mountain is amazing and how much more you walk, more you want keep going because there are always beautiful views and some very curious places like old Hermits and crazy stairs in the middle of nowhere. It is really a fantastic place to visit!
After reaching the Monastery, I take the trail to the highest point: The way of Saint Jeroni. Unfortunately, I would not have time to make the last two hours until there and come back in time before get dark. So I decided to make just half of the way. Which was already pretty good!
The problem is really just the inclination. The path itself is easy, with just a few places where you have to climb up some rocks. In the end, I reached the second highest point just beside the first one. So I probably walk around one hour and a half. It was amazing and I just regretted do not have planned better and camped there when the weather was still good..
P.S.: going down I made from the Monastery until Monistrol in forty minutes because I did not wanted lost the 5.40 p.m. train. My own record!
