In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can see this impressive sunset in the sanctuary of Puig-agut, in Manlleu, in the region of Osona.
In this accelerated video we can see how the large cloud is moving but, in reality, without ceasing to be perched right above this emblematic church, one of the most photogenic in Catalonia.
The winter sunset in this popular Manlleu sanctuary is dyed red with monstrous, giant clouds, colored orange-red due to the meteorological phenomenon of the candilazo.
The Puig-agut sanctuary was the first temple of its kind in Spain to be dedicated to the Sacred Heart. Its construction was promoted at the end of the 19th century by Ramón Madirolas y Codina, an innovative farmer who promoted it from the Faro de Puig-agut magazine.
The direction of the work was carried out by the architect August Font y Carreras, who used a neo-Gothic style with some Romanesque and even neoclassical facets, inspired by the French basilica of Tarbes.
The sanctuary of Puig-agut does not go unnoticed, since it is the highest point in the area (594 meters) and it is where the parishes of Torelló, Manlleu and Sescorts converge.
