 Possible destination: [http://www.easytravel777.com/id15.html Montserrat].
-Alternative destination: [http://www.valldenuria.com/website_valldenuria/eng/nuria_lavall.asp Santuari de Núria (Pyrenees)], arriving by train to Queralbs (~3h walking, ~800m uneveness, fairly easy).
+Some useful information: [http://www.fgc.net/eng/index.asp Trains from Barcelona], [http://www.cremallerademontserrat.cat/website_cremallera/eng/index.asp Montserrat train], and [http://www.aeridemontserrat.com/op_b1.htm Montserrat gondola].
+Some hints:
+ * From the city center, take the Metro L3 (green) to Espanya (~10 minutes, ~1EUR)
+ * Take the "Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya" (FGC - one of the train lines here), line R5 (Manresa), and stop at Montserrat-Aeri or Monistrol de Montserrat (not sure - should be the first one). It should be ~1h and ~4EUR
+ * Once in the base of Montserrat, you can either start climbing right there (more information here soon); or you could take the "Aeri" (gondola) or "Cremallera" (steep train) to the Sanctuary, and from then follow the signs to the summit (2-3h, yet somehow strenuous).

Lovely sightseeings. Probably a bit cold by those dates.
