The changing skies of Sant Feliuet

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

In La Vanguardia Readers' Photos we can contemplate the landscape from Sant Feliuet de Savassona with a fantastic sunrise with red lenticulars in a changing sky and with a fog that has dissipated quite quickly.

Lenticular clouds are called that because they are shaped like a lentil, as their name indicates, or there are also those who see them as a saucer or converging lens.

They are stationary and form mainly at high altitudes in mountainous areas and isolated from other clouds. Among mountaineers these clouds are considered a harbinger of a storm.

Located on a large rock in the center of an Iberian town, Sant Feliu de Savassona is a hermitage belonging to the municipality of Tavèrnoles, in the region of Osona.

In this small enclave in the Plana de Vic we can find a Mozarabic rural church and a Romanesque church belonging to the Savassona castle.

From the town of Tavèrnoles, after the town, the church appears on the left of the road, before descending towards the Ter valley. The temple is located on a hill known as Puig de Sant Feliuet. This temple is dedicated to San Félix, the early martyr of Girona, praised and sung by the poet Prudencio in the 5th century.
