The whirlwind is the abundance of things happening at the same time. And, at the first dawn of the first day of the last month of the year, December, the clouds have taken center stage in a spectacular way in Manlleu, in Osona, with the permission of the rainbow, which has wanted to vindicate itself at some point, as we see in Las Photos from La Vanguardia Readers.
Among the clouds, lenticular clouds have stood out, so called because they are shaped like a lentil, as their name indicates, or there are also those who see them as saucer-shaped or converging lens.
They are stationary and form mainly at high altitudes in mountainous areas and isolated from other clouds. Among mountaineers these clouds are considered a harbinger of a storm.
The Puig-agut sanctuary is also the protagonist of this report. It was the first temple of its kind in Spain to be dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
Its construction was promoted at the end of the 19th century by Ramón Madirolas y Codina, an innovative farmer who promoted it from the Faro de Puig-agut magazine.
The direction of the work was carried out by the architect August Font y Carreras, who used a neo-Gothic style with some Romanesque and even neoclassical facets, inspired by the French basilica of Tarbes.
