I have captured for La Vanguardia Readers' Photos this magical sunset that we have been able to contemplate in Olot, capital of the La Garrotxa region.
Magic has taken over the clouds and, as if the sky had been touched by a barite, it has been transformed into a large orange blanket full of luminosity and color.
It is the candilazo, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that ranges from pink to the most intense orange.
As part of the phenomenon of dispersion of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closer to the horizon, the light that reaches the 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 with those tones.
The candilazo is also known as arrebol, which is the red color seen in clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, especially at dawn and in the evening.
