travel log
We walk into the cave, where the replica of the statue resides. This is La Moreneta, or the Virgin of Montserrat. Another legend surrounding La Moreneta is that the Benedictine monks could not move the statue to construct their monastery, choosing to instead build around it. This is an amusing story because the real deal actually WAS moved, to the main chapel of the monastery. We'll visit that later.
