Question Montserrat Hiking Trails: Free Access?

Hi everyone, I'm heading to Barcelona a few days after Christmas and am super excited to explore Montserrat. I've heard the views are breathtaking and the hiking trails are a must-try. I’m curious, do I need to pay anything to access the grounds and hiking trails? Are there any hidden fees I should know about? Any tips for navigating the area would also be greatly appreciated!

You're in for a treat! Montserrat is absolutely stunning. The good news is that the hiking trails themselves are free to access. Just keep in mind that if you plan to use the cable car or cogwheel train, those do have fees. It's best to check the official schedules since they can vary in winter. As for tips, early mornings are less crowded, and don’t forget to bring plenty of water and snacks for your hikes. Have you thought about which trails you want to tackle first?
