This morning, during sunrise, a very low layer of mist could be observed over the Barcelona plain, which left the tops of Turó de la Rovira and Carmel free above, as can be seen in these photographs in Las Fotos de The Readers of La Vanguardia.
Fog is a meteorological phenomenon, which consists of the suspension of very small droplets of water in the atmosphere or of humid hygroscopic particles, which reduce horizontal visibility at a distance of one kilometer or more.
If the meteorological phenomenon gives a vision of 1 km or less, it is considered as fog; and if it allows you to see more than 1 km, the phenomenon is fog.
Turó de la Rovira is a hill 261.8 meters high, which is part of the Tres Turons park, together with Turó del Carmel and Turó de la Creueta del Coll. The number comes from an old oak forest that was in the area. The “hill of the rovira” is the “colina del robledo”.
For its part, Mount Carmel is located northwest of the city, dominating the neighborhood of the same name. Formerly it was known as Turó d’en Móra, but its current name was acquired from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, built on one of its slopes in the 19th century.
It is also known as La Muntanya Pelada because it has no vegetation on its top. On its southwestern slope is the famous Park Güell, by the architect Antoni GaudÃ, while in the northern part is the Parque del Carmel.
The images have been captured from the Observatori Fabra, a privileged viewpoint of the city of Barcelona. It is located on a buttress of the Tibidabo mountain, facing south, 415 meters above sea level.
