We greatly enjoyed our trip to Montserrat, and the horseback trip afterwards. The tour was highly informative. The horseback portion is perfect for beginners, but it was very strictly walking only, so maybe not for those who have done more riding.

Our guide, Frank, was absolutely amazing. The entire experience was incredible and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona.
