Terrible images of the Garraf Natural Park. The persistent drought that we are suffering is affecting the pine trees that can be seen next to the sea, as can be seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
The forest is sounding the alarm with the color (or rather, the discoloration) of the trees, far from green green. The landscape of this natural park is becoming sad and, in addition, with a greater risk of forest fire because it is so dry.
The danger of a fire breaking out is the highest in the last 40 years. Words are unnecessary, the images sadly speak for themselves.
The Garraf massif is located in the Catalan Coastal mountain range. It occupies a triangular area between the Llobregat valley, the Penedès depression and the Mediterranean. It forms a group of low mountains. Orographically it goes from sea level to 593 meters from the top of La Morella.
The Garraf mountains are calcareous with many chasms and caves. And the palmetto is an endemic species in this area. The massif loses height towards the west and disappears near Vendrell, where the coastal depression is limited by the sea.
