From Matadepera I have captured this photograph for Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia where we see La Mola, the highest peak of Sant Llorenç del Munt, with a tricky low fog, because it seems to want to give us the impression that the mountain is snowy in the middle of summer .
Matadepera, in the Western Vallès, allows you to capture these perspectives, because it is at the foot of the massif of the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, whose highest point is La Mola, at 1104 meters of altitude.
The 11th century Romanesque monastery of Sant Llorenç de Munt is located at the top of La Mola, which was abandoned at the beginning of the 17th century and sacked by Napoleon's army in 1809.
La Mola, whose name literally means "the table", is integrated into the pre-coastal mountain range, between the Arenes stream and the Ripoll river. It separates the Llobregat and Besòs basins.
Characteristic of the region's landscape, La Mola is made up of conglomerates with a succession of cliffs combined with strips of smoother relief that correspond to alternating layers of sediment with different resistance to erosion.
