Visited for the day from Begur (on the eastern coast of Spain). It was about a 90 minute drive via the freeways. It is a very beautiful and historic site - well worth the visit- the Basilica was my favorite - along with the spectacular views from up top. It surprised me that hardly anyone talked driving their own car up the mountain - there are two fairly good sized lots near the top and you don't have to take the train. This is a good way to see it also if you have mobility issues. The museum and church can be visited by climbing no more than 2 flights of stairs - and both were very interesting - with the added touch of hearing the wonderful boys' choir at 1 pm in the church. The museum was top notch - many styles - with religious works representing perhaps 1/3 of the art there. The cafeteria supplied hot and cold lunches (cafeteria style) - and even though there were many visitors, finding a table was easy (we visited on Mon.Nov. 25th, 2019).
