3-Hour Supercar Route from Barcelona to Montserrat Mountain

A High-Octane Day from Barcelona to Montserrat: The 3-Hour Supercar Route

Imagine the sensation of sitting behind the wheel of a sleek Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche, cruising along twisting mountain roads with panoramic views of Catalonia’s rugged landscape. This 3-hour supercar driving tour from Barcelona to Montserrat offers just that—an adrenaline rush paired with unforgettable scenery. Led by a friendly, professional instructor, this adventure perfectly blends luxury, excitement, and authentic Catalonian charm. The whole experience lasts roughly three hours, with the drive taking about two hours, ending at the stunning Montserrat monastery where you get a full hour of free exploration.

Two aspects we especially appreciate are the diverse selection of supercars available, giving you a chance to choose your dream car, and the breathtaking views at every turn—the winding mountain roads provide photo-worthy vistas that make every moment memorable. A common highlight from past travelers is the feeling of freedom as you take the wheel, escaping the city buzz for a scenic escape.

One potential consideration is that insurance costs are not included in the base price, and you’ll need to pay a security deposit or insurance fee. This might be less appealing if you’re on a tight budget but is understandable given the premium nature of the experience. This tour suits car enthusiasts, adventure seekers, or anyone wanting a unique way to see Montserrat beyond the usual tourist paths.
