Have you seen Montserrat's eye of fire?

In La Vanguardia Readers' Photos we can contemplate this fabulous sunset looking at Montserrat, from Sant Llorenç del Munt, in which the sun sets at one end of the massif as if it formed an eye of fire.

All part of the landscape of Sant Llorenç del Munt, a massif located between the regions of Vallès Occidental and Bages, converted into a splendid viewpoint at dusk. Its main peaks are Montcau and La Mola, where the monastery is located.

And we find another monastery precisely in the other massif that is the protagonist of these photographs, that of Montserrat, a mountain where we see the sun setting under a flushed orange sky.

This rocky massif is traditionally considered the most important and significant mountain in Catalonia. With a maximum height of 1236 meters at the peak of Sant Jeroni, Montserrat rises abruptly to the west of the Llobregat river.

Since, according to legend, the image of the virgin was found in the Santa Cova, Montserrat has been a place strongly linked to spirituality.
