Fabulous sunset, as if it were the ground, from Sant Llorenç del Munt looking towards the coast and towards Montserrat at an observation point that can be reached by bicycle, as we see in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
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 prominence of the sunset also goes to the Montserrat massif.
Montserrat is a rocky massif traditionally considered the most important and significant mountain in Catalonia. With a maximum height of 1236 meters, formed by the peak of Sant Jeroni, the mountain rises abruptly to the west of the Llobregat river.
Since, according to legend, the image of the virgin was found in the Santa Cova, Montserrat has been a place strongly linked to spirituality.
