Before going to Montserrat we visited Colonia Güell.
Colonia Güell is actually a small village, a set of buildings and was created on the initiative of the well-known businessman Eusebi Güell. In 1890 he had the textile factory built on his own land with houses and facilities for the workers, all in the beautiful modernist architectural style. He gave carte blanche to his friend Antoni Gaudí in 1898 to build a church in the village. What remains is Gaudí's Crypt, also called the best kept secret of Gaudí's work. The crypt has been on the UNESCO list since 2005. You will take a tour of the village and visit the beautiful crypt. Then we headed to Montserrat. A unique day!
