Montserrat Comience el recorrido desde Barcelona en un confortable autocar hacia las montañas de Montserrat, las cuales alcanzan majestuosamente la altura de 4,051 pies (1,236 metros). Las rocas de Montserrat son de un cemento natural de arena que durante siglos han sido modificadas por el viento y la lluvia, es por ello que tienen esa forma tan extraña y variada. La imaginación popular ha visto formas humanas o animales en alguno de sus picos, dándoles nombre e inventando leyendas para explicar su fantástico origen. Usted visitará la Real Basílica de Montserrat, la cual acoge la talla románica del siglo XII, la Verge Moreneta (la Virgen Negra). El santuario de Montserrat Benedicto fue fundado en el año 1025 y ofrece un telón de fondo místico de la Virgen de Montserrat, patrona de Cataluña, que está consagrado en la Real Basílica del monasterio. El pequeño monasterio pronto comenzó a recibir a peregrinos y visitantes que han contribuido a la difusión de historias de milagros y prodigios realizados por la Virgen. Hoy, Montserrat ha sido modernizada para seguir atendiendo las necesidades de los peregrinos mil años después de su fundación. La escolanía de Montserrat es uno de los coros de niños cantores más antiguos de Europa (S.XIV). Los días que hay canto podrán admirar sus magníficas actuaciones. El calendario de actuaciones está sujeto al calendario escolar y a eventos especiales de la escolanía y del monasterio.  El tour a Montserrat finalizará en la oficina de Julià Travel de la calle Balmes 5, en el centro de la ciudad, desde donde se comenzará también  la segunda parte del Tour. Barcelona Artística* Les llevaremos a conocer la Barcelona modernista,  gracias a unos de los grandes innovadores de su tiempo, Antoni Gaudí. Este famoso arquitecto dejó a su paso numerosos tesoros para descubrir por el turista exigente. Comenzaremos por la Basílica de la Sagrada Familia, obra maestra que Gaudí dejó inacabada, el monumento más famoso de Barcelona en donde realizaremos un recorrido a pie por su exterior, desde donde se advierte que sus bóvedas alcanzan hasta los sesenta metros de altura y están abundante y simbólicamente decoradas. Continuaremos el recorrido en dirección al fantástico Park Güell, el cual fue declarado monumento artístico y patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO. Tenga cuidado, ya que es fácil perderse en este diseño caprichoso, una perfecta integración de elementos arquitectónicos en la naturaleza. A continuación, nuestra visita continúa a pie por el Passeig de Gràcia, para admirar los famosos edificios de Gaudí como Casa Milà “La Pedrera” y la Casa Batlló, así como otros magníficos edificios modernistas. Tenga en cuenta: Salida a las 15:30h. Registrarse a las 15:15h en la Oficina de Viajes de Julià, c / Balmes 5.

Mystery surrounds this 5,000 year old World Heritage Site. Visit this pre-historic South West monument and decide for yourself whether Stonehenge was designed as a place of sun worship, or as part of a huge astronomical calendar, or something different altogether! An awe-inspiring family visit, Stonehenge is a powerful reminder of the once-great Stone and Bronze Ages. Each phase of Stonehenge was a circular structure, aligned with the rising sun at the solstice. Erected between 3,000 BC and 1,600 BC, the stones were carried hundreds of miles over land and sea, while antlers and bones were used to dig the pits that hold the stones. Modern techniques in archaeology, and the series of recent digs, have helped to shape new theories about the stones, but their ultimate purpose remains a fascinating and enduring mystery.      Arriving at Stonehenge (important Information for Groups) Stonehenge now ask that coach drivers and tour leaders/guides have their correct booking reference number(s) ready on arrival at Stonehenge. This will help Site Staff ensure we keep queues to a minimum. During busy periods they will unfortunately be restricted in their flexibility for providing entry to groups turning up outside of their time slot. However, they understand that delays happen so we will of course try to accommodate your groups as best we can. Please be advised that under no circumstances must groups disembark except at the designated drop-off bay and only once your coach is fully parked. If your coach has the passenger door located on the right-hand side, please proceed directly to a coach parking bay before disembarkation.                          Note for Seniors and Students: The Staff at Stonehenge ask that any persons carrying vouchers for Student and/or Senior concessions please also carry valid identification. This is to avoid any unecessary embarrasment or misunderstanding if you are asked for proof on arrival.
