Yesterday afternoon I went up to the Falconera hill, in Sant Llorenç del Munt, to see the approaching storm, a moment I photographed for Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
You can see in the images how light effects were created, with the clouds charged with water and electricity, which ended up being a free spectacle offered by nature.
La Falconera is located within the domains of the municipal term of Mura, in Bages. With a height of 857.2 meters, climbers consider it the big wall of Sant Llorenç del Munt.
But, she is not alone. About 140 meters to the south is La Miranda (846.7 metres), another monolithic rock that is part of the same riscal as La Falconera and with which they share the same geological stratification.
The Falconera, together with the Roca Salvatge, is the steepest wall of the Sant Llorenç del Munt massif and, thanks to its wide width, it has become a favorable terrain for the opening of a good number of climbing itineraries.
La Falconera is so called because falcons nest here and climbing has even been prohibited for this reason. And it is that this place is very popular among climbers.
This spectacular and unique monolith is located on the northwest slope of Sant Llorenç del Munt. It stands alone separated from the rest of the massif, with what stands out prominently above the Sot de la Ferestega, on the west side, and the Clot d’Estenalles, on the east side.
