Monastery of Montserrat
Montserrat
This route brings you south along the coast road from Tossa then turns inland at Canet de Mar taking in lowland valley’s and villages before climbing up good twisty mountain roads to the great monastery itself and is seriously worth a visit if you’re in the area. This place is swamped by tourists in the high season however and the roads full of coaches.
