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. 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 peregrines mil años después de su fundación. Tendrá tiempo libre para poder visitar la sala de audiovisuales en donde se proyectan imágenes de la historia y creación del monasterio. Y también podrá degustar los típicos licores creados por los monjes del monasterio. 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.
Buen clima, fantásticos toboganes de agua y menús a un precio razonable en cualquiera de los restaurantes y kioscos del Parque, el día perfecto para toda la familia. Porque si hay algo a destacar en Aquopolis es que encontrará una atracción y una zona para todo el mundo. Y por supuesto también hay el espectáculo con delfines, que sorprenderá a grandes y pequeños. Hay fotógrafos profesionales cerca de la entrada que podrán inmortalizar estos grandes momentos para que se los puedan llevar a casa, si quieren. Prepárese para ver el mar y mucho más desde lo alto de las atracciones de Aquopolis. Y después baje por el Kamikaze, el temible Huracan, el divertido Splash y muchos más para obtener una buena dosis de adrenalina que hará las delicias de los amantes de las emociones fuertes. Por supuesto, como no todo es emoción y diversión, tendrá la oportunidad de descansar en alguna de las muchísimas zonas ajardinadas del Parque, tanto al sol como a la sombra, y comer en cualquiera de los kioscos o restaurantes que encontrará.
