In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can contemplate an autumn perspective of the mountain of Montserrat with the vineyards, with the colors of autumn, in the foreground, images captured in Hostalets de Pierola (Anoia).
As you can see, at this time of year the vineyards have mutated from the summer green color of their buds to the yellowish and brown colors of autumn, waiting for the buds (leaves) to fall at the beginning of winter for their return to spring.
Now the farmers, once the grapes have been harvested, have taken the opportunity to till the land, to accumulate water in the soil and eliminate weeds.
And they will begin to prune the vines, a key job during the winter, since the negative part of the vineyard is reduced, limiting its natural growth, to improve the quality of the grapes and their yield.
Montserrat is a rocky massif traditionally considered the most important and significant mountain in Catalonia. With a maximum height of 1236 meters, formed by the peak of Sant Jeroni, it rises abruptly to the west of the Llobregat river.
