Very nice shots of a very beautiful place. We were there a few years ago. It was so crowded we couldn't get those nice interior shots like you captured.

You've done quite well for being on a tour. I did so love visiting Spain and would love to return some day. They really know how to do cathedrals - and museums!

(Catching up on my responses:)

nimbushopper, thanks for your nice comments.

raymondh, I appreciate you, too.

cameraf4, I’m glad you have memories of this place. Thanks for the nice words.

angler, thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed them.

Blair, I hope that you can take that tour to Spain. Thanks for your comments.

Bill, I’m so glad you liked them! Thanks a lot.

blacks2, Wow! 5 thumbs up! Thank you very much.

water falls, thanks for viewing. I appreciate it.

Hereford, I’m sorry that you had difficulties with your visit. We had crowds, but were there just at the end of a service, so maybe that helped. I appreciate your comments.

AzPicLady, there are always compromises associated with a tour. Fortunately, I was able to overcome some of them. Thanks for your nice words.

Thank you, Earnest, I'm glad you liked them.

just.a.guy, I appreciate your comment. I did take pictures of Spain that weren't churches, too. If you're interested, it is possible to navigate from those Flickr photos back to the Albums they reside in.

Jeff, thank you very much. (I grew up in Detroit, 1942-1960.)

Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, Spain

In 2016, having been unsuccessful (so far) in convincing one of my choral groups to visit Spain, I toured Spain by myself with a group of strangers. One of the locations toured was the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey near Barcelona, Spain. The Abbey is one of the most important religious sites in Spain, and its location affords one of the most spectacular views of Catalonia.

Thank you very much, srfmhg and Saigon. It is fun (and challenging) to get photos that even minimally depict the great beauty in those churches.
