The Pyrenees are covered in snow flour

In the last few hours it has not only rained in Catalonia, but it has given time for the peaks of the Pyrenees to begin to be covered in white. Puigmal is one of the mountains that shows off its new snow suit.

The Pyrenees is starting to take on a more autumnal aspect, as can be seen in this series of photographs taken from Manlleu and the Masies de Voltregà. It can also be seen from Els Munts.

El Puigmal, in Alta Cerdanya, is the second highest mountain in the province of Girona, with 2914 meters, and is located on the border between Spain and France.

Located between the municipalities of Queralbs (Ripollès) and Err (Alta Cerdanya, Eastern Pyrenees), the Puigmal is the highest of the peaks that make up the so-called Gran Olla that surrounds the Vall de Núria.

It is a wide and rounded top. And its ascent is easy if the weather conditions are not very adverse. At its summit there is a forged iron cross and a plaque with verses by Jacint Verdaguer.

Autumn weather is making its way more and more as winter approaches. Fog in the Osona landscape is a characteristic phenomenon of this time of year, as we can see in these images captured from Manlleu and Els Munts.
