In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see another image resulting from the drought in Catalonia: the Gorg Negre with very little water, in Santa Cecília de Voltregà, in Osona. In fact, the waterfall has disappeared.

We are located in the Riera de Sorreigs, a water course whose valley is largely protected as a space of natural interest. The drought is also noticeable here, in a region where the Sau reservoir has become the most verifiable graphic image of the lack of rain in Catalonia.

The Riera de Sorreigs rises in the area of ​​Sant Boi de Lluçanès, in the sub-region of Lluçanès, and forms two waterfalls, one of which gives rise to the Gorg Negre, although now there is almost no trace of this waterfall. It is almost completely dry.

The Riera de Sorreigs flows through the valley of Santa Cecília de Voltregà, which, in its western sector, is sandwiched between the peaks of Tuta and Santa Perpètua (795 m) and the Sierra del Castillo de Voltregà (854 m).

A large part of the valley, which is a land of witches and legends, is part of the Natura 2000 Network.
