It was spectacular to be able to photograph the supermoon of the harvest with the beautiful castle of Eramprunyà in Gavà, in the Baix Llobregat, images that we can see in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
In medieval times, the castle of Eramprunyà came to control the current territories of Gavà, Begues, Castelldefels, Sant Climent de Llobregat, Viladecans and part of Sant Boi de Llobregat.
Built as part of the defensive system of the border between Al-Andalus and the Carolingian Empire, it was owned by the counts of Barcelona.
Today, the remains of the castle can be seen on top of a mountain between cliffs with magnificent views of the Llobregat Delta and part of Garraf.
This is not only a full moon, but a supermoon (it is perceived as larger and brighter), given that in this month of September it coincides with its perigee, that is, the moment in which the orbit of our natural satellite brings it closest to the earth.
This September full moon is known as the harvest or cereal moon, due to the agricultural calendar. As usually happens in these cases, it also receives other names.
One is the autumn moon, since it is the first of this season of the year; another is the moon of brown leaves, the autumn color par excellence in the landscape; another is the baby moon, since many animals are weaned in September; and it is also known in some places as the mating moon, since it coincides with the mating season of deer, reindeer and other animals.
