From the top of the Tavertet cliffs, with fog in the Sau reservoir, it is the best location to exclaim (or shout) “hallelujah” at the increase (although slow, but progressive) of the reservoir’s flow.
Yes, the water level is rising, which, although it had reached 1%, is now close to 4%, embarking on the path of recovery.
At least, that’s what it seems after the latest rains and this week, towards Thursday, some precipitation is also expected that could continue to benefit the rivers and, by extension, the swamps.
This series of photographs in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos, wrapped in the seas of fog, reveal the slow recovery of the swamp, where the dry land still gains ground over the water.
But, there are indicators on the ground that suggest that the water is advancing. For example, the old flour mill is more submerged and the remains of the Gothic bridge of Sant Romà de Sau have once again disappeared under the water of the swamp.
Tavertet is located in the Collsacabra area and, from the abysses that surround the town, there are excellent views of the Sau and Susqueda valleys, where many meteorological phenomena are also observed.
Tavertet is located within the Guilleries area. Morro de l’Abella, for example, is a viewpoint with fantastic views of the Sau reservoir, which is located a few kilometers before reaching the town of Tavertet.
Below, from this privileged view from the viewpoint, we will see the reservoir and, in front, we will have the Puig de la Força and, to our right, the Salt de Tirabous.
Fog is common, creating a cloudy ocean that, although it prevents us from seeing the bottom of the valley, gives us the feeling that we are floating among the clouds, as can be seen in one of the images.
