Monastery of Sant Jeroni de la Murtra

Highlight • Religious Site

Don't forget to fill your canteen at the monastery's fountain. This place was the scene of an exceptional historical event: in April 1493, after returning from his first voyage to America, Christopher Columbus was received here by the Catholic Monarchs. It's hard to imagine that this quiet monastery, hidden in the Serralada de Marina, was for a few days at the center of one of the events that would change world history. Who knows if more than 500 years ago Columbus himself also stopped to drink water at this spot.

Hermitage of Saint Climent

Great view of Barcelona

Highlight • Viewpoint

A real “wow” moment. As soon as you have left Barcelona, it is partly steep up in the mountainous landscape north of Barcelona, from where you can always enjoy impressive views of the huge capital of Catalonia. Apart from that, you are on the way here that absolutely lives up to the term “gravel”.
