Montserrat, Catalonia - Spain 4K Travel Channel
Montserrat is about 40 km north-west of Barcelona. Montserrat is at the same time name of the monastery and of sand stone mountains. It is one of the landmarks of Catalonia. The highest peak, Sant Jeroni is 1,236 m high. From Barcelona we go by train in about 30 minutes to the lower cableway station, built 1930 by the Leipzig company Adolf Bleichert & Co. A cable car takes us up to the monastery of Montserrat, which is located at an altitude of 720 m.
Apart from the cable car, there is a winding road and since 2003 a rack railway to the monastery. From there you can take a funicular railway to the summit of the mountain. Another funicular railway brings you down to the holy cave where the dark Madonna, since 1880 the patron saint of Catalonia, was allegedly found.
Of course, the mountain can also be reached by foot over steep trails.
The monastery from the 12th century is visited by many pilgrims, who worship the Black Madonna, which can be seen in the apse of the monastery church. Approximately 80 monks live here today.
In addition, the monastery is known for its boys' choir Escolania de Montserrat, which is proved documentary since 1307. Every day around 13.00 they sing the Marian hymn Virolai the in the church.
Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey is famous for its spectacular location, but also as a symbol of Catalan nationalism. During the Franco dictatorship it enjoyed religious privileges. It was not subordinated to the bishops appointed by Franco, and therefore the holy masses in the monastery were celebrated in Catalan, which was forbidden in the rest of the country. During our visit we got an impression.
On the square in front of the church the people are dancing the Sardana.
In 1881, Pope Leo XII declared the church a Basilica minor.
The Montserrat monastery is a Benedictine abbey. Here, St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, took his vow.
Adjoined to the monastery is a library of 200,000 volumes and an archaeological museum.

Montserrat liegt ca. 40 km nordwestlich von Barcelona. Es ist zugleich der Name des Klosters und des Sandsteingebirges und eines der Wahrzeichen Kataloniens. Der höchste Gipfel, der Sant Jeroni ist 1236 m hoch. Von Barcelona fahren wir mit dem Zug in ca 30 Minuten zur Talstation der 1930 von der Leipziger Firma Adolf Bleichert & Co errichteten Seilbahn. Die Seilbahn bringt uns dann hinauf zum Kloster, das auf 720 m Höhe liegt.
Außer der Seilbahn gibt es eine kurvenreiche Straße und seit 2003 eine Zahnradbahn mit der das Kloster erreichbar ist. Von dort führt eine Standseilbahn zum Gipfel des Gebirges und eine andere hinab zur Heiligen Höhle, in der angeblich die dunkle Madonna, seit 1880 die Schutzpatronin Kataloniens, gefunden wurde.
Natürlich lässt sich der Berg über steile Pfade auch zu Fuß erklimmen.
Das Kloster aus dem 12. Jahrhundert wird von vielen Wallfahrern besucht, die die schwarze Madonna verehren, die in der Apsis der Klosterkirche zu sehen ist. Heute leben hier ungefähr 80 Mönche.
Außerdem ist das Kloster bekannt für seinen Knabenchor Escolania de Montserrat, der seit 1307 urkundlich nachgewiesen ist und täglich um 13.00 in der Kirche das Marienlied Virolai singt.
Das Kloster ist berühmt wegen seiner spektakulären Lage, aber auch als Symbol für den katalanischen Nationalismus. Während der Franco Diktatur genoss es kirchliche Sonderrechte. Es unterstand nicht den von Franco ernannten Bischöfen und deshalb wurden im Kloster die Messen in katalanischer Sprache, die im übrigen Land verboten war, gehalten. Während unseres Besuches bekamen wir direkt einen Eindruck. Auf dem Platz vor der Kirche wurde Sardana getanzt.
Papst Leo XII. erhob 1881 die Kirche in den Stand einer Basilica minor.
Das Kloster ist eine Benediktinerabtei. Hier legte der heilige Ignatius von Loyola, der Gründer der Societas Jesu, des Jesuitenordens, sein Gelübde ab.
An das Kloster angeschlossen ist eine Bibliothek mit 200.000 Bänden und ein archäologisches Museum.

The Mysterious Montserrat Mountain of Spain
During the Nazi-era, German occultists believed that the holy grail rested somewhere inside Montserrat. In October 1940, Heinrich Himmler was sent to Spain to meet with Francisco Franco. Aside from being the commander of the SS, Himmler was also a founder of the Ahnenerbe, a pseudoscientific organization that launched expeditions across the world to find holy artifacts and evidence of ancient Aryan civilizations.

Spain: Central Barcelona in total gridlock as thousands of Catalans join general strike
Thousands of protesters caused gridlock on the streets of central Barcelona on Tuesday morning, as they gathered in front of Placa de la Universitat to demonstrate against the Catalan independence referendum crackdown.
Catalonian pro-independence groups and trade unions called for a region-wide general strike against police brutality over the weekend’s independence referendum. Barcelona’s university, Barcelona Football Club, the Sagrada Familia and the museum of contemporary art are among some of the institutions joining the general strike.

La Rambla - Barcelona Spain - Morning Walk to Placa de Catalunya
La Rambla - Barcelona Spain - Morning Walk to Placa de Catalunya
La Rambla in Barcelona Spain is a place that is on every list of things to do in Barcelona. We finally made it to Las Ramblas, but it was in the morning around 9:30am. This area has a lot of activity, but most likely, later in the day. Our schedule did not allow for us to be here in the afternoon or evening.
This video footage was taken in March of 2019 on a Friday at 9:30am. Things were just getting started. The vehicle traffic was light, the foot traffic was light, and some shops were just getting opened up. We walked from the Mirador de Colom to Placa de Catalunya, and then back to Mirador de Colom, and then on to the port mall Maremagnum. It only took us 20 minutes or so to get to Placa de Catalunya. When we took the bus and even the cab, it seemed to be so far away. If we had only known this on the first day, instead of the last, we would have walked more, and probably seen more places up close.

How Spain Played Itself With Catalonia
On October first, residents of Catalonia went to the polls on the question of independence. There they met with massive police resistance with approximately 1000 people injured. When the dust was cleared, Independence had surprisingly won the day with 90% of the vote, but only 42% turnout.
At least that’s the narrative that many sympathetic to the secessionist argument. The truth, however, is a little more complicated than that: That, far from being a story of overcoming all odds, the police response was actually the reason why Independence won the vote.
I know. It’s a bit crazy. But there’s actually some solid political science behind it.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
