In the meantime I have found that there are three routes from Barcelona to Monserrat. One goes through the valley and the other two through the sierra de Collserola via Sant Cugat and Terrassa. One of these routes is the GR6 and the other is a camino with yellow arrows from the Amics of Terrassa. Hmmm
Has anyone done one of these routes? @peregrina2000 Laurie, do you know anyone? Will also ask a Camino friend who lives in Sant Cugat.
Here is the Spanish description from Gronze: http://www.gronze.com/camino-de-san...-santiago-de-barcelona-montserrat/informacion
Nice place for a meet-up you girls have chosenIf all goes well, we will meet up in the albergue in Montserrat on Saturday June 13. I'll be coming in from the north and LT may be walking in from Barcelona.
. Is there an albergue of sorts in Sant Cugat-Terrassa?
Looks amazing. It's not occupied by monks is it? (who would give me a roomDon't know about an albergue, but Sant Cugat has a fabulous romanesque cloister with double columns and wonderful carved capitals, and a delicate pale blue rose window. Also don't miss the Caravaggio in Montserrat.
Huh, I envy you watching CL Finals in BCN!!! I'll be watching it in Valencia and hope to have wonderful evening although FC Valencia is strong opponent in La Liga.I will be yeah. Probably on Thursday the 4th of June. Or maybe the Sunday after that if I want to watch the champions league in Bcn
Marti, are you then continuing on the Camino Catalan from Montserrat?Thank you all muchly for the info on walking from Barcelona to Monsterrat!
I'll be there in two weeks time roughly. Yous may well catch up with me haha!
Marti, are you then continuing on the Camino Catalan from Montserrat?
LT and I are planning to continue on the northern alternative, which goes through Huesca and San Juan de la Pena and then connects with the Aragones. The other alternative is through Zaragoza to Logrono, but the pull of that amazing monastery in San Juan de la Pena, along with our longstanding desires to walk the Aragones, sealed the deal for us. Buen camino, Laurie
p.s. You'll be about a week ahead of us, it seems, so let us know how it goes!

I plan to set off from the gothic district on Thursday. I'll go towards sant cugat, a night there and then to Montserrat. Do you know if the way is signposted to Montserrat?Enjoy Barcelona, marti. Not sure if you're a fan of romanesque architecture, but the Catalan National Art Museum has an amazing collection of interior altar frescoes that they stripped off village churches all around Catalunya and brought to Barcelona.
Don't know if you've seen this document with a listing of all services from Montserrat to the Aragones. http://www.amicsdelspelegrins.org/wp-content/uploads/servicios-cami-SJDLP1.pdf We've been told the route is extremely well marked, so this is all we'll be using as a guide, with an occasional glance at Eroski (which is extremely complete) to learn about what there is to see along the way. (I have successfully downloaded the entire Eroski camino site on my iphone. This is quite a technological advance for me!).
When will you be leaving Barcelona? Have you picked out the route to Montserrat that you will follow? Buen camino, Laurie
I emailed the amics and asked around the sagrada familia. What is the religioses de sagrada familia might I ask?This website has some gps tracks for the walk between Barcelona and Montserrat, but I think it is still missing the last part since they just did the walk recently (this is the Cervera amigos page again) http://www.camisantjaume.cat/tracks-barcelona-montserrat
And a quick p.s., the same Cervera amics webpage indicates that the albergue is in the Religioses de la Sagrada Familia, but that if it's full, they will help you find a place to stay. Call 647-578-158 or 636 753 749
They seem like quite a nice bunch of people!

Marti93, I am planning to fly into Barcelona from Australia in 2016 Sept to walk the route are doing up to Logrono and then onto Santiago any info you have on this path would be helpful ie. Albergues , bars and what the markings are like . Will appreciate all feedback Buen caminoYup that's the plan. Any more wee bits of extra info are appreciated.
Enjoying barcelona currently
Good evening, I plan to follow 2015 Peregrina2000 steps and yours from Cataluña East coast to Santiago this upcoming 2016. I have enjoyed the extremely well done narration offered by Laurie on this adventure and in some of the posted pictures, I have seen an Osprey rucksack. I think it was yourse, what capacity is it?I will be meeting up with Laurie @peregrina2000 in Monserrat and will continue on the Camí via Huesca and San Juan de la Peña to join the Aragónes. My original plan was to stay two nights in the albergue de peregrinos in Monserrat (first night free, next night €10), visit Barcelona and then meet up with Laurie when she arrives. As I visited Barcelona for a week a while back I am now thinking about walking from Barcelona to Monserrat and skip the first night in Monserrat.
Is there anyone out there that has walked from Barcelong to Monserrat? Pros and cons?
I will now write to the Amics in Barcelona to ask their opinion but wanted to also check in here.
Cheers
Thank you for this information. Will be looking for your narration Barcelona Montserrat. Many Thanks again.Haha Laurie did have a tendency to flash my backside ...
My pack is an Osprey Aura 35. Love it and has come along with me on 11 Caminos. From what I understand, the 35 is no longer made. 35 is perfect for all year round.
I have some new info about the Barcelona - Monserrat walk which I will post shortly (I took a slightly different route).
