In the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can see how the fog allows us to see only some parts of the city of Berga, capital of Berguedà, and how it covers the Llobregat valley.
The images have been taken from the sanctuary of Queralt, located on the eastern slope of the Castellberguedà hill, summit of the Sierra de Queralt, at an altitude of 1200 meters.
The place where it stands today corresponds, it seems, to the space that would have been occupied by the castle of the troubadour Guillem de Berguedà. And the primitive sanctuary was built in 1386 by the Berguedà merchant Francesc Garreta.
The Queralt complex is made up of the sanctuary where the image of the Virgin of Queralt is venerated and an annex building that once housed the Hospedería, where today the restaurant and the funicular station are located. The church of La Cueva is also considered part of the sanctuary, where, according to legend, a shepherd from Vilaformiu found the image of the Virgin in the 14th century.
From the balcony of the sanctuary you can enjoy splendid views of the region, especially interesting at dawn and, in this case, with the phenomenon of fog as the protagonist.
