Description

Sometimes you just get what you get. You can't plan the weather when you are traveling, you can only make the best of whatever it is. Even knowing that, I was a bit disappointed on the train ride from Barcelona to the train station in Montserrat since it seemed a foggy and gloomy day. How were we to enjoy the touted 'breathtaking scenery and panoramic views' in this weather??!! At the train station, you switch to the 'rack railway', a smaller train that takes you up to the plaza at the Monastery. At this point we rose above the fog, which made the monastery seem a bit like being in Brigadoon and changed the whole day! Montserrat is a UNESCO World Heritage site. (Raise your hand if you don't know or remember Brigadoon. ..it was a Broadway play that opened in 1947. The story involved two American tourists who stumble upon Brigadoon, a mysterious Scottish village which appears for only one day every hundred years.)
