About Montserrat
Montserrat is the mountain you photograph from the train and then find is far stranger up close: a massif of pink conglomerate eroded into hundreds of rounded stone fingers, with the Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria set on a ledge at around 720 metres. You come up by rack railway or by cable car from the valley, so the approach itself is part of the session. The monastery squares give architecture and scale; the Sant Joan funicular lifts you a few hundred metres higher to bare rock, dry pines and a view that reaches the Pyrenees on a clear winter morning. Below the abbey the paved Camí de la Santa Cova drops along the cliff past the Rosari Monumental — early twentieth-century Catalan sculpture bolted to the rock, one monument worked on by Gaudí — to the chapel built into the cave itself. On the north side, the Degotalls path is flat, shaded and almost empty, with the whole Llobregat valley below. Come early: the coaches from Barcelona arrive mid-morning and by noon the squares are full. Spring and October give the clearest air; the massif can sit inside a cloud while the plain below is sunny, so check the mountain forecast rather than the city one.

Top Photo Spots at Montserrat
The most photogenic locations for your Montserrat photoshoot
The monastery terraces and Plaça de Santa Maria
The abbey's main square on a ledge at 720 metres, with the serrated stone fingers of the massif rising straight behind it.
Best time: The first hour after the funicular railway opens, or the last hour of light
The square itself is free and open; the basilica, museum and funiculars have their own hours and tickets — check them before fixing a time. It is around ten degrees cooler than Barcelona, and windy.
Sant Joan funicular — the upper viewpoint
A short, very steep funicular to bare rock above the abbey, with the monastery below and the massif on every side.
Best time: First departures of the morning, or the last hour before the funicular stops
The funicular is a separate paid ticket with its own timetable and closes earlier than you expect — check the last descent before planning a sunset shot up here.
Camí de la Santa Cova
A paved cliff path below the monastery, lined with modernista sculpture, leading to a chapel built into the rock.
Best time: Morning, when the sculptures are lit and the abbey above is still in shade
Walking down and taking the funicular back up saves the climb. The path can close in bad weather or after rockfall, so check it is open on the day.
Els Degotalls — the quiet north path
A level, shaded walk on the north side of the massif with the Llobregat valley below and almost nobody on it.
Best time: Any time of day — the north wall keeps the light soft, and late autumn adds colour
Flat and pram-friendly, unlike the rest of the mountain. Bring water: there is no bar along the path, only benches and shade.
Frequently asked questions
Is the studio rental included in the price?
It depends on the photographer. Many studio photographers run their own space and include it in the session fee — check the package description on their profile. Others book a third-party studio per session and pass the cost through (typically €40–€100 depending on city and studio size). For clarity, the price shown on Photo Spain includes everything unless the photographer's profile says otherwise. If you're unsure, message the photographer before booking — they'll confirm whether studio rental is bundled.
How many outfit changes are included?
Most 60-minute studio sessions include 2–3 outfit changes; 90-minute sessions allow 3–4. Studios have changing areas, mirrors, and full-length lighting for outfit checks. Bring outfits on hangers (less wrinkled) and shoes that match — feet often appear in editorial-style shots. For headshots specifically, one neutral top + one professional/business top is enough; for personal branding or editorial, more variety helps. Your photographer will guide which outfits photograph best against the chosen backdrop.
Can we shoot a mix of studio and outdoor in one session?
Yes, and it's a popular request. A 2-hour session typically splits 60 minutes in studio (clean headshots, editorial portraits) and 60 minutes outdoors (lifestyle, contextual). The photographer will pick a nearby outdoor location so transit doesn't eat into shoot time — common pairings are studio + mirador in Madrid, studio + Barceloneta beach in Barcelona, studio + marina in Sitges. Mention this when booking and the photographer will plan logistics, including outfit swaps for indoor/outdoor needs.
How much does a photoshoot at Montserrat cost?
Photoshoots at Montserrat start from €299. Packages differ by length and by how many edited photos are included; one to two hours is the usual choice and runs roughly €299–€450, which is enough for the monastery squares, the Sant Joan viewpoint and the walk down towards Santa Cova. Getting up from Barcelona takes about an hour each way, so plan half a day.
What are the best photo spots at Montserrat?
The monastery squares put architecture in front of the serrated peaks, and the Plaça de Santa Maria is the widest of them. The Sant Joan funicular lifts you to bare rock, dry pines and a view over the whole massif. The paved Camí de la Santa Cova runs along the cliff past the Rosari Monumental sculptures, and the Degotalls path on the north side is flat, shaded and almost empty above the valley.
What is the best time of day and season for photos at Montserrat?
Early morning is the quiet hour: the first coaches from Barcelona reach the monastery mid-morning, and before that the conglomerate is warm pink and the squares are empty. Late afternoon lights the west-facing terraces and the Sant Joan viewpoint. Spring and October give the clearest air; summer middays are hot and hazy. The massif can sit inside cloud while the plain below is sunny, so check the mountain forecast.
