Colorful sunset in the sky in Mataró, as shown in this photograph in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos with the perspective of the walkway that crosses the sea to bring us closer to the horizon of the sunset.
The clouds in this snapshot are the reflection of the moment of twilight, when the day is coming to an end and this palette of diverse tones is created in the sky.
The candilazo is 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 the clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, especially at dawn and in the evening.
