Once Espanya he'll just find the R5 LINE towards Manresa.

It is advisable to arrive at the Gare d'Espanya far ahead because the line R5 is quite difficult to find. Espanya station is large and the signs to the R5 line could be clearer.

The station is Placa Espanya vast and contains many entries on the surface leading to the station eslle even in the basement. It is sometimes difficult for tourists to navigate, especially as each entry it is said that some lines that you might set anyway accessed from any input. The best thing to do is to ignore the signs and take the first entry you send it again. Once you exit the station look for signs R5 line. You can turn round a while but will eventually find it!

Train Tickets Montserrat Tickets and offering optional services

Tickets are purchased at the counters of the station Placa Espanya just before the R5 line to Manresa. Terminal staff will be there for you explain the ticket prices. They speak English, English and Catalan!

sure to buy good tickets!


You must first know if you want to take the cable car (ticket Aeri version) to the Monastery after your train ride from Barcelona, or if you prefer to take the Funicular Cremallera to get there ( ticket Cremallera version). To be clear, the train takes you from the station Espanya at the foot of the mountain of Montserrat, where you have two options, Cable or rack railways, to climb to the Monastery. You'll also see below that it will take off at different stops depending on whether you choose one or the other of these options.

When you buy your tickets at the station for you rebdre Espanya to Montserrat you must make sure you buy the right kind of ticket. There are two versions for each ticket listed in the table below. There is a ticket to enter the monastery by Cable (AERI) and another to access the rack railways. Even if the tickets listed below have the same name and are identical rate it however, two versions exist and you must specify that you want when purchased at the station. They are not interchangeable and no exchange will be possible once the ticket purchased.

For example, the "Trans Montserrat ticket" you will be asked if you want version Téliphérique or rack railways. The price is identical and the name of the ticket is also what can make some puzzled tourists.

Journey times from Barcelona to Montserrat and how stopping down.

The journey from the station Barcelona Espanya to Montserrat takes approximately one hour by train.

You have two options to get to Monostère after taking the train. The first is the cable (AERI), the second on rack railways. As we said earlier, you must select your ticket at the station.

Cable (Aeri de Montserrat)

The cable car from stopping Aeri de Montserrat and takes only 5 minutes. Enjoy views aq breathtaking during this trip, but there is no seating.

Cremallera Funicular - Train Rack
If you are not comfortable in the cable car you can choose to take the cog train instead. To take the cog train you need to get off one stop after Aeri de Montserrat, stopping Monistrol. The rack railway takes about 15 minutes to arrive at the Monastery and is more comfortable than the cable but the picture is less enchanting. The other advantage of rack railways is being able to sit during the journey, and it is what is more accessible to wheelchair ros.
I recommend that you arrive well in advance to Espanya station because there are often long queues to buy tickets and trains to Montserrat leave on time.
