After taking the Sant Joan funicular to the upper plateau (one-way fare 5.85 euros; round-trip 9.00 euros), you can walk along the Montserrat mountain range. For this, several routes of varying degrees of complexity and length are proposed.
The most difficult and longest is the path to the highest peak of Montserrat - Sant Jeroni. The shortest that the map and signs promised was the Sant Joan path (15 minutes). Everywhere there are signs where to go, and at the beginning of the path there is a huge map with a variety of routes. A prerequisite is comfortable and fixed shoes on the foot (from experience).
If you follow the Sant Joan route:
- somewhere halfway there will be a sign to the right and a rather steep staircase (this is also the path of Sant Joan, which will lead to the chapel from the other side). Now I would not climb there, but calmly go straight;
- if you still decide to climb the stairs, then do not miss the turn to the left, where the path will go in the rock.
She will lead you to the chapel of Sant Joan;
- if you did not turn towards Sant Joan, then you will come to the place where the conditionally landscaped road ends and the thicket begins to read. Having made your way through it, you will come out to a place called Santa Magdalena, and having risen even higher, you will actually be at the top of the mountain. Keep in mind - there is no alternative road - you will have to go down right there! Correctly calculate your strength!
I gave up on a stretch of forest thicket, returned to a less extreme road and just walked, admiring the views that opened from everywhere.
