Private tour of the Crypt of the Colònia Güell and Montserrat, with hotel pickup

A day trip outside of Barcelona, by private car, combining Gaudí's least visited work with the mountain of Montserrat. It starts at the Colònia Güell, an industrial colony on the outskirts where the crypt is located, which Gaudí used to test his ideas. It's visited at a leisurely pace, without the crowds of the city center. Then, you ascend to Montserrat. You visit the monastery and see the "Moreneta" (Black Virgin) with access without queues. At the farmers' market, you can sample Catalan cheeses and cured meats, and from there, you can hike up to the viewpoint of the Creu de Sant Miquel, with the entire mountain range in front of you. If available, you can attend a performance by the Escolania (boys' choir). This needs to be requested in advance and has a separate cost. Pick-up and return are from your accommodation. If you want to eat, the guide will recommend places.
