The water returns to the meander of the Ter

In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can see how the water has returned to the meander of the Ter, in the Sau reservoir, once again surrounding the monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres.

After being completely dry in recent weeks due to the drought, the water level gradually rises with the spring rains, as we see in the snapshots.

The meander is a curve described by the course of a river, whose sinuosity is pronounced, as can be seen in the images. They form more easily in rivers on alluvial plains with very little slope.

Next to the Sau reservoir we find the viewpoint of the meander of the Ter, from which you can see Sant Pere de Casserres, an 11th century Romanesque monastery of the Benedictine order and which has an origin closely linked to women.

It is recorded that in the year 1006, the viscountess Ermetruit de Osona-Cardona, together with her daughter-in-law Engúncia, raised money for the foundation of the monastery that they wanted to convert into the family monastery.
