In this image in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia of dawn on the Caldes d'Estrac beach, everything is natural elements, with no trace of human beings, from the color of the sky to the trunk of the tree on the sand.

In the photograph we can admire the morning glare, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that goes from pink to the most intense orange.

As part of the phenomenon of scattering of sunlight, in the morning hours, when the sun is closest to the horizon, the light that reaches Earth is soft tones between red and orange. In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and could be said to color them.

The origins of Caldetes or Caldes d'Estrac, in El Maresme, date back to the 13th century, when it was built around an old hospital and a church.

The location of a thermal water source gave the name to the municipality. From 1870 to 1920, Caldetes lived its first golden age, being a summer resort for the Catalan bourgeoisie.
