This beautiful and complex hiking route is located in the wonderful natural and historical environment of the Montserrat Mountain Natural Park.
This route is a constant up and down, where there are also quite dangerous sections where you have to climb, not being suitable for all audiences.
It is also recommended to wear good hiking shoes as there are quite stony sections of the trail.
The views and nature are simply spectacular.
Trail reviews for Agulla del Guarda
Bring water and food from outside the town. It is extremely expensive (water you can get in the city’s Fontana )
Sant Jeroni Summit Loop
A wonderful way to spend the evening! Would recommend. So few people for such beautiful views. A lot of stairs, quite the climb but a fun run down. I would say It was moderated to hard in places but I did the whole thing in sandals.
Conditions: Wildflowers, Dry ground, Well maintained
Hard, but worth it. Lots of stairs. We hiked from the Monastery to Jeromi lookout point and back (did not do the whole loop) in about 2.5 hours, which includes some time to rest at the top and enjoy the view.
Worth doing in the morning before trails get full
Itinerary of the Hermitages of Montserrat
Spectacular views, really unusual rock formations. This was a highlight of our trip to Spain. Agree with others to do this counterclockwise and use the map feature. Easy to get off trail but definitely worth it!
Montserrat - La Trinitat - Sant Jeroni - L'Abarda
We turned off the road and took the Colbato path. We also took our time, observing the relics of another era quite meticulously. Breaks were also in order, given my pregnancy and my recurrent need to snack. A very satisfying hike, with extraordinary views.

Montserrat - Roca Sant Salvador - Creu Sant Miquel
Exceptional hike, top views. But to be done in an anti-clockwise direction. We did it in a clockwise direction and the descent is technically difficult, and the route is not well marked. Go there with hiking shoes.
