The people who make up Guides de Muntanya de Montserrat have two fundamental things in common: the passion for the mountains and the mountain of Montserrat. Its fantastic rocky, barren appearance captivated us when we first began hiking and climbing. Indeed Montserrat is a unique, emblematic mountain in Catalonia, and has always been of paramount importance in the history of the activities they offer.

We had a fantastic time doing a via ferrata with Francesc. He sent me a map link so it was easy to drive my rental car to meet him. He supplied helmets, harnesses, gloves, and via ferrata kit. We had so much fun. Francesc is a really good guide and a really nice guy. If I’m ever in the area again I will for sure go climbing with him again.
