The days of umbrellas return to the meander of the Ter

The Sau reservoir has undergone a great change in three months, during which time it has gone from being at 8% of its capacity in April to having 31% of the flow as of today, July 6.

Therefore, after the worst of the drought, little by little it became regular, with the monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres as testimony. And, also, the flock of sheep that appears in the comparative images that we can see in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.

The meander is a curve described by the course of a river, whose sinuosity is pronounced. They form more easily in rivers on alluvial plains with very little slope.

Next to the Sau reservoir we find the viewpoint of the meander of the Ter, from which you can see Sant Pere de Casserres, an 11th century Romanesque monastery of the Benedictine order and which has an origin closely linked to women.

It is recorded that, in the year 1006, the viscountess Ermetruit de Osona-Cardona, together with her daughter-in-law Engúncia, raised money for the foundation of the monastery that they wanted to convert into the family monastery.
