TO THE 'SAW MOUNTAIN' WE GO!

This was one of our last weeks in Barcelona and thanks to professor Vidal we had a nice break one of the weekends, he took us all the way up to beautiful Montserrat (I had already been there with my dad; I didn't mind at all going back... this is a place worth returning to as often as one can, it's beauty doesn't allow it to get old).
Montserrat is a very peculiar mountain in Catalunya where a Benedictine abbey was founded. It is world reknown not only for its beautiful views but also for housing "La Morenita" (the black Virgin), and the little boys choir "L'Escolania de Montserrat".
Since we have amazing connections in this city (a.k.a. prof. Vidal), we had the chance of getting shown around the cloister and hear the boy choir from the churche's choir ;)
