Montserrat approaches the Turó de l'Home

I have captured this series of photographs for La Vanguardia Readers' Photos from the Turó de l'Home with views of Montserrat, which could be seen very clearly on a clear, beautiful day, as can be seen in the images.

Turó de l'Home is the highest mountain of the Montseny massif, with a height of 1712 meters, above the summits of Les Agudes and El Matagalls.

Montseny is one of the busiest and most popular natural parks, largely due to its proximity to the Barcelona area. It is located in the Catalan Pre-coastal Mountain Range, between the regions of Osona, Vallès Oriental and La Selva.

The Turó de l'Home peak and the nearby mountains act as a watershed between the Santa Fe stream and the source of the Tordera river. And, as we can see, you can see the Montserrat mountain perfectly.

This rock massif is traditionally considered the most important and significant mountain in Catalonia. With a maximum height of 1236 meters at the Sant Jeroni peak, this mountain 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.
