Early train Barcelona to Montserrat (serrated mountain) then the Cremallera (rack railway) to the Monastery

- to view the ‘Red Book of Montserrat’
- to walk

Great day even if the ‘Red Book’ was under lock and key and the tourists were prolific and the day was hot; so good to walk; so interesting to watch the rock climbers scale the seemingly smooth and crevice-free mountains; so good to be free and happy and to have made the pilgrimage to see the Black Madonna.
Ah the warmth of the colours from the sun. Great picture story

In an effort to catch up…. I certainly can’t immediately bring to mind any detail.
