   Montserrat is a rock mass considered traditionally as the most important mountain of Catalonia. It is located 30 km apart from the center of Barcelona, between the regions of Anoia, Baix Llobregat and Bages. In this mountain you will find the Santuario y Monasterio benedictino de Montserrat (a benedictine abbey), dedicated to the cult of the Madonna of Montserrat. The word "Mont" means "mount" and "Serrat" means "Sawed" in Catalan. The name "Montserrat" comes from its peculiar shape: it looks like someone tried to saw it with a giant saw.

   Barcelona's Plaza España is one of the most emblematic points of the city. It was built during the International Exposition of 1929, following a project by Puig i Cadafalch and Guillem Busquets. It was finished by Antoni Darder. It is an important center of the city's traffic from which you can acces to the area of Montjuïc, and where the Feria de Muestras and the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña (MNAC) are located. Other relevant buildings in the square are the Centro Comercial Las Arenas (old bullring and actual mall, artwork in "neomudéjar" style, an Islamic inspired style), as well as the so-called Torres Venecianas, inspired by the famous belfry in Venice, built by Ramon Reventós for the International Exposition of 1929.
