Bellmunt is the great (mountain) port of the autumnal (foggy) seas. This sanctuary, located at 1,246 meters above sea level, is one of the best viewpoints to contemplate this meteorological phenomenon, as seen in this report in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos.

The fog phenomenon in Osona, the so-called Pubilla, can last for days and even weeks if conditions are favorable. In Bellmunt, the landscape of the Plana de Vic is dominated.

In some areas of Osona, the fog or Pubilla de Vic is also known as "baixa joke", because the sea of ​​low fog covers the entire landscape.

The Osona region is the place in Spain with the most days of fog (a hundred) a year, making it an intrinsic element of its landscape and its people.

But, in autumn, it is like the high season and attracts the eyes of all those who want to observe these spectacular oceans of fog that seem infinite.

From the Bellmunt sanctuary you can also see, if the fog does not prevent it, a series of mountain ranges, such as, to the north, the massif of Rasos de Peguera, the Sierra del Cadí and the peaks of Pedraforca and Puigmal.
