Pedralbes Monastery, Barcelona
The Monestir de Santa Maria de Pedralbes, is on the outskirts of Barcelona. Off the main tourist track, it is an oasis of tranquility and has been skilfully adapted for visitors with a museum and various informative displays. Well worth your time and recommended to us (thanks!) by Pepi. Don't tell the chavs. This is the church that forms one corner of the monastery square.
