The next Sunday 27th October the Xino-Xano association prepares one more year the "Rise to Montserrat from Collbató" throught the path called "Camí dels burros". An emblematic activity of beauty that from Blog of Hotel Acapulco we want to recommend you and give you some recommendation just in case you are interested in going there.
34 editions already of this walking tour for all ages hosted by this Lloret association every last sunday of October. A different kind of discovering the mountain of Montserrat through the point of view of excursionism, for nature lovers and to enjoy catalan landscapes.
Soon, you will have to take the bus that Xino-Xano rent to go to Collbató. You'll be there in around one hour, where you will stop at the service station of Collbató. After breakfast, to Montserrat!
The "Camí dels Burros" is a path through the lands, forrests and stones, a hidden path and impossible to see from Collbató, but it appears between the rocks and will take you to the Monestry in one hour thirty minutes or two hours, depending on your resistance.
The path rises almost until the end, but only the first meters are really hard, so after that the path continue rising but slowly. It's worth to take this path with relax and stop to take small break and enjoy of the landscape from this path, that is spectacular.
Once you are at the top, the last meters are really plain and going down.
If you are lucky and you get to the Monestry at the hour "o'clock", you'll see the Monestry appearing between the rocks while bells are dringing and their sound travels through the mountains. It's a moment of incredible beauty and intensity.
And once in the Monestry, you can enjoy of all the activities and services there: the visit to the Church and "La Moreneta", the Museum, the Cable train to Sant Joan, you can take lunch in the autoservice or restaurant...
After lunch, is typical to visit the "Degotalls" gardens, where we'll look for the "Alegries" Virgin to make her an offer and sing the hymn.
And around five o'clock in the afternoon, return to Lloret, with the bag full of "Mató" of Montserrat, a biscuit and the feeling of having had a day in a magic place that you probably won't ever forget.
