- LM S114 contributionsAmazing restoration. Before Gaudi became world famous, you can see so many of his features that he used in later projects. Very worthwhile. Don't miss it. Not crowded. The audio guide is better than most I've used in Barcelona.Written January 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kwagmeisterNewburgh, IN1,587 contributionsThis is an absolute not to be missed visit. It’s also one that really ought to be visited with a knowledgeable guide, both to maximize your experience and to avoid unecessarily long waits in line.
We visited in the morning of a beautiful October day, Our guide described the history of the discovery of the black Madonna, the beginnings of early Christianity in the region, and how the Monastery has weathered history to today as we made our way up the mountain. It’s a breathtaking drive with even more incredible views to experience once at the monastery.
If you do nothing else be sure to go immediately to see the black madonna. You’ll avoid a wait by going early. Also note that the boys choir (the boys attend the monastery school) performs almost every day that school is in session. Mass is also daily - several times in fact. To attend you’ll need to book a ticket….or wait in line in hopes that there are seats available. Again see the black Madonna as soon as you arrive.
There are several other things to do: hike a nice wide path to the cross which is visible from the church, take the funicular up the mountain (not for the faint of heart), shop the line of stalls with tables of local honeys, nuts, cheeses, cakes etc… or the gift shop, and take a break to enjoy a coffee or lunch. There is a hostel and also a hotel here, too.
This was an incredible morning for us. The weather was perfect which helped - the views of the mountain and valley are fantastic. By the way, look at the top of the mountain for what people have described as an elephant, a chimpanzee, and a sphinx….really cool.Written October 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Foodie_CST🍽🇷🇴Kolios, Greece5,195 contributionsInteresting scultpture showing a Giraffe in an flirty pose, located at the start of the Rambla street, worth a look while talking a walk in the area.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia42,211 contributionsEl Toro Pensador is the unusual sculpture of a very thoughtful Bull! Barcelona is full of beautiful sculptures, many of them in animal form, and this one is no exception. The interesting thing here is that at the other end of Las Rambla there sits another animal sculpture (the Flirty Giraffe), and it seems as if the two animals will soon start to want to come closer to each other; but you will have to meet both animals in order to understand the connection.Written May 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Viorel IosubSibiu, Romania1,581 contributionsNice way to reuse some old buoys. Sculptures were placed on top of the buoys, depicting a man watching the stars.
