In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can contemplate the sunset of Montserrat from Sant Llorenç del Munt.
The Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac is an extensive protected natural area. The landscape is of oak forest, white pine, oak and hazel and bare rock.
In addition, it is pierced by more than 300 caves and peaks. Neolithic and medieval archaeological remains abound among farmhouses, vineyard sheds, ice wells and fountains.
The main peaks of Sant Llorenç del Munt are Montcau and La Mola, where the monastery of Sant Llorenç del Munt is located, at an altitude of 1,104 metres. But, on this occasion, the leading role of the sunset is taken by the Montserrat massif.
With a maximum height of 1236 meters, formed by the peak of Sant Jeroni, the mountain of Montserrat rises abruptly to the west of the Llobregat river.
Since, according to legend, the image of the Virgin was found in the Santa Cova, Montserrat has been a place strongly linked to spirituality.
