Unusual mists at the end of spring in Osona, with views to the north of Sant Miquel de la Guàrdia and, to the south, with the Castell de Vilagelans emerging from the low broma.
In addition, in this sequence of images we can appreciate the clouds with glare before sunrise at dawn, in Les Masies de Roda.
Sant Miquel de la Guàrdia is a church included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia and of which there is news from the year 1012, under the guardianship of the monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres.
The name of “Guàrdia” seems to derive from the Puig de la Guàrdia, located near the church, where the Guard or Guardiola must have been, documented in 936. It is a church oriented in the Romanesque style, with the façade facing west.
For its part, the Castell de Vilagelans, in Gurb, has been declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. In fact, on top of the old castle, documented since 1012, a house with a square plan was built in the 16th century, with the chapel of Santa Fe next to it, with a Romanesque plan, although greatly transformed. In 1920 an annex body with a central tower was built.
In some areas of Osona the fog (or Pubilla de la Plana) is also known as “baixa joke”. Basically, it’s when a sea of ??fog comes down and covers everything. This Catalan region is the place in Spain with the most foggy days, a hundred a year, although it is less common in spring.
