The abbey and church go way back and are still famous for their art, boys choir, and as a spiritual retreat.

More of the complex; someone could do a really great
Mount Rushmore here |

Another of the larger gift shoppes in
Christendom |

It's the abbey of St. Mary of Montserrat;
some really weird sculptures around... |

Aisles lined with these incendiary devices;
it's a Romanesque church and needs all the
light it can get; well, depends on your
contemplative vs. touristic needs |

We always light a candle. Don't know if I have seen the color coded ones before, though.
Really? I've always wondered who lights them. I always blow them out if no one is looking.
Shame on you! I paid good money to light that candle!
