In the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can contemplate the backlight with the orientation markers from Sant Llorenç del Munt looking at Montserrat.
A milestone is a permanent sign that is placed to establish the boundaries and in this case they serve as an orientation point in our exploration of Sant Llorenç del Munt and having the Monserrat massif as a background reference point.
The Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac is an extensive protected natural area. The landscape is of oak forest, white pine, oak and hazel and bare rock.
In addition, it is pierced by more than 300 caves and peaks. Neolithic and medieval archaeological remains abound among farmhouses, vineyard huts, ice wells and fountains.
The main peaks of Sant Llorenç del Munt are Montcau and La Mola, where the monastery of Sant Llorenç del Munt is located, at 1104 meters high. But, on this occasion, the Montserrat massif also takes center stage.
