Oller del Mas

Visit the unique secrets and beauty of the montain of Montserrat and enjoy a gastronomical and oenological day, A break in nature while you enjoy your holiday. Wine Tasting in Oller del Mas, a X Century (964 A.D) castle surrounded by gorgeous fields with jaw dropping views. A very intense experience in nature and the feeling of the past.

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain

Oller del Mas is a winery located in the surroundings of Manresa, included in Pla de Bages wine region, it is in Central Catalonia. You can visit (in a guided visit) this winery, which is in a castle built in 10th Century and it always belong to the same family. In fact, in the visit you can learn a lot about the history of the place and the region and how they do wine in the place. Also you can see wonderful views of the surroundings and Montserrat, especially from the tower. Also, you can go to the vineyards and you can enter to the main building, where you will see some especial rooms of the castle, a room to taste wines, the shop and barrel room. At the end of the guided visit, you can taste teo different wines: a white one and a red one. The last wine, it is not possible to buy in the shops, because it is an experimental wine, so it is very recommendable to taste it. The staff was very friendly. In fact, you can see that she enjoy a lot with his job and the full complex. Wonderful!

Aeri de Montserrat

El Aeri de Montserrat es mucho más que un teleférico. Es una experiencia única para descubrir Montserrat desde el cielo, disfrutando de una excelente panorámica de la montaña mágica.

Reviewed By SnowballAdventure - Barnet, United Kingdom

If you haven't got the height phobia, then I wouldn't be able to think of a better way to go up to Montserrat rather than to travel by the Aeri cable car. The cable ride only takes 5 minutes to climb up and down the mountain. The slope isn't too deep as the incline's angel is 45%. Despite there is only 1 seat inside, it's totally worth it as it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the serrated mountains in Montserrat, which something you won't be able to see if you take the Cremallera funicular! Each cable car could hold a maximum of 35 people but most of the time it would leave in every 15 minutes anyway. A return ticket cost €11.50 for an adult and €6.00 for a children, it runs between 09:40 - 17:15 or 19:00 daily, depending on the time of the season and the weather. Finally, Aeri Montserrat is safe as I searched online and couldn't find that it has any accident since it first opened in 1930. I really enjoyed the rides, so I hope you will too! Highly recommended!

El Parque Cultural de la Montana de Sal

The Salt Mountain is a unique natural phenomenon in the world and is still growing while being eroded by the rain. Its 120 meters are just the tip of an enormous diapir nearly two kilometres deep. Lasting an hour, you will go down to a depth of 86 meters and enjoy the spectacle of shapes and textured features of the salt massif. The Salt Mountain Cultural Park also offers the visitor the option to walk through the old mining facilities. Beneath the imposing feature of the winding tower of the old mine shaft Maria Teresa lies the museum area: an open-air area that explains the history of the explotation of salt, the geology, the minerology and botany of this Area of Natural Interest, the Salt Valley of Cardona. The visitor can also see the shaft's mining machinery, which is a very good example of industry archaeology dessigned by Alsthom (currently Alstom) during the 1920s. A photographic exhibition can be seen in the basement. The old carpenter's workshop and the room where all the machinery used to be repaired house the Salt Handicraft Centre, Art-Sal and the exhibition Memory of the women from the mining neighborhood. We can also find there "La Cafeteria" with outdoor seating. At the reception, you can find "La Botigueta", a little shop with a wide selection of products and bibliography about Cardona.

Abadal

Al cor del Bages, enmig d'un paisatge de vinya i bosc, hi trobem el celler Abadal. Identitat i singularitat, varietats locals, innovació i passió pel vi; valors que Abadal pretén transmetre amb experiències enoturístiques de proximitat. Unes activitats fidels al territori, a la vinya i als vins que s'hi elaboren. https://youtu.be/uvh-SBYnAG4

A really well organised and presented tour of this vineyard that has been in the same family for 800 years. It was really interesting to see the old way of making wine in the original celler of the house. A great presentation by Helena. Gracias Helena. I would definitely recommend this tour, the tasting and buying some of their wines. Its a half day excursion from Barcelona.

Castillo de Cardona, Conjunto

Reviewed By gaiteiro

If you look at the website it seems to imply that access to the castle is only on official guided tours at pre-booked times. This isn’t entirely accurate - the official guided tours get you access to a couple of extra places in the castle. The rest of it is entirely free to access. Part of the castle is a Parador, and the café run by them at the very top is very nice - good service and good food. The castle is pretty huge, and bits of it are in better repair than others. There are very few places you can’t go, even if there are warning signs which don’t bar you from entry, just telling you to be extra careful. If you walk up from the town, it’s a brisk climb, but well worth it. Glad we did it.

Basilica Santa Maria De La Seu

The Santa Maria Basilica Collegiate of Manresa (the See) is one of the most representative examples of the Catalan Gothic and it is also a symbol and an icon of the Bages district capital. Located at the top of the Puigcardener, it sights the city at its foot from the left side of the Cardener River, at the bottom of the cliff. The See is, without any doubt, the main historical, identity and spiritual reference of all the Manresans. The privileges conceded by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 turned the temple into a Basilica.

Reviewed By c0bra82 - Barcelona, Spain

On a hill, easy to reach, near thee Cardener river. Was the old Roman, rebuild in 1960 old 12 th century stone bridge. Beautiful Gothic cathedral with nice paints. Visit also the old church, inside this church. Nice view over the city. On less than minuts walk, you reach some museum, and the cave of Sant Ignaci de Loyola.
