Country life in the summer of Malla

* The author is part of the community of readers of La Vanguardia

Summer in Malla, country life goes on and it's harvest time, a very poor cereal harvest this year, because the rain came late.

In the images we see in the background the Romanesque-style parish church, Sant Vicenç de Malla, or a beautiful farmhouse of the many that are in this municipality to the south of Plana de Vic.

The population lives mainly from agriculture and livestock. A landscape of great beauty with its fields, as seen in these scenes of the harvester in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.

Sant Vicenç de Malla was named as a parish church in 1052 and, years later, it received an important donation for its reconstruction. The Bishop of Vic, Ramon Xetmar, consecrated an altar dedicated to Saint Mary in 1191.

An outstanding element is the old door which, together with the capitals of the columns, is attributed to the Vic-Ripoll workshop and which can be seen in the Episcopal Museum in the capital of Osona.
