This photograph for La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos shows the Cavall Bernat, in an image captured at the key moment, from the Monistrol rack railway station.
We can appreciate how the snapshot portrays the moment in which the sunlight illuminates the Cavall Bernat, the largest and best known of the monoliths of the Montserrat massif. It is a spectacular conglomerate wall 245 meters high.
The region of the needles of Montserrat forms an authentic route for hiking lovers, who can discover reliefs baptized with names such as the Twins, the Scorpion, the Nun, the Finger or the Parrot.
There are more than a hundred needles to discover on this emblematic mountain whose landscape leaves no one indifferent. Cavall Bernat is the best example of this.
Monistrol, at the foot of Montserrat, is crossed by the Llobregat River, which divides the town in two, leaving the original town on the right bank. From this town we see good perspectives of the mountain, as this photograph shows.
