The parents were sceptical but knew their children were trustworthy and honest, and so they went to where the children had experienced the visions to see if they could see what all the fuss was about.</p> <p>For the month following the first visitation, the parents witnessed the same heavenly experiences and were left with only one conclusion. The visions were a sign from God.</p> <p>A local vicar was brought to the scene and witnessed the same experiences as the children and parents. The visions occurred in the same location in a cave on Montserrat mountain. When the religious elders of the community explored this cave, they found an image of the Virgin Mary. From that moment on, the cave became a holy sanctuary for religious pilgrims.</p> <p>Today, the site of the visions has been marked by a Holy Grotto on the mountain. You can walk to the Holy Grotto and see first-hand where these events occurred. The Holy Grotto has now been ordained a holy place and is visited by pilgrims and curious onlookers from all over the World.</p> <hr> <table class="PSU-TableBOP"> <tr> <td class="PSU-TableBOP"> <img src="/images/icon/tip/tip-logo-LANG-EN.png" class="PSU-TipImageBOP" alt="Our Insider Tip"> <p class="PSU-HeaderIntroTextBOP">Did you know you can travel from Barcelona to Montserrat by train?
