Tourist guides at Montserrat monastery on Montserrat mountain and at the Sagrada Familia sometimes mention that these magnificent, spiritual and mystical places could easily be in a Dan Brown book and from October 2017 they are! In his new historical suspense book Origin. Dan Brown, author of the bestselling book 'The Da Vinci Code' and other novels featuring Professor Robert Langdon - played by Tom Hanks in equally succesful movies - has chosen Spanish cities Bilbao, Madrid, Seville, Barcelona as settings for Robert Langdon's latest adventure. Dan Brown’s books have been printed in more than 200 million copies worldwide and translated into 56 languages, so Origin will no doubt be a smash hit too.

In Barcelona, Brown takes the readers to the magnificent Montserrat monastery near Barcelona and to some of the most famous buildings of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona including La Sagrada Familia temple and Casa Mila/La Pedrera.

Robert Langdon also rides in the Montjuic cable car on Montjuic hill and stays in the Sofia hotel on Barcelona's Diagonal Avenue. The novel also has locations in other iconic places in Spain that include Madrid's Royal Palace, Seville Cathedral and the world famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao

Read the full synopsis to get an idea of the plot.  To find Dan Brown's answers to these existential questions buy his book Origin, which will be released on October 5th 2017.

Synopsis of Dan Brown 'Origin' book

"Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon’s first students at Harvard two decades earlier, is about to reveal an astonishing breakthrough . . . one that will answer two of the fundamental questions of human existence.

As the event begins, Langdon and several hundred guests find themselves captivated by an utterly original presentation, which Langdon realizes will be far more controversial than he ever imagined. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Reeling and facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao.

With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch to stage the provocative event. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade a tormented enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace itself . . . and who will stop at nothing to silence Edmond Kirsch. On a trail marked by modern art and enigmatic symbols, Langdon and Vidal uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch’s shocking discovery . . . and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us."
