After 10 liters per square meter fell yesterday, not enough to recover the fields and pastures, the herds in Osona, like this one on the outskirts of Manlleu, continue with the odyssey of finding grass.
We hope that today it will continue to rain and with more abundance to begin to alleviate the effects of the persistent drought in Catalonia.
In these images in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see how this herd goes in search of food in the fields around the sanctuary of Puig-agut.
In this accelerated video we can see how the shepherd guides the sheep and goats on their way to the pastures, under some clouds that seem to herald a rain that never comes.
Despite the difficulties, the photographs want to convey that life makes its way in this dry spring in Catalonia. In addition, with the increasing danger of forest fires, sheep and goats play a very important role in prevention, precisely by grazing.
