Montserrat

A beautiful mountain, just like Meteora in Greece.

 For those who are uncultured swines, Montserrat means "serrated mountain".

 Montserrat is a common Catalan name for females. They are nicknamed "Montsy".

 One of those is Montserrat Caballé, a soprano opera singer who passed away last October.

 The Black Madonna

 This man... or... whatever.

 Back to Montsy, she performed a duet with the legendary singer Freddie Mercury, titled "Barcelona". May the two rest in peace.

When I was at Montserrat, I went to a cheese shop.

Of course we didn't climb! We went up with our tour bus.
