In La Vanguardia Readers' Photos we can contemplate the phenomenon of low fog caressing the majestic mountain of Montserrat.
In meteorology, fog is the suspension of small water droplets that produce visibility of less than 1 km. It consists of very low clouds, near or at ground level and formed by small volume water particles in suspension.
In this case, it forms a sea of fog lower than the silhouette of the popular Montserrat massif, a mountain that emerges proudly without anything being able to cover it.
This rock massif is traditionally considered the most important and significant mountain in Catalonia. With a maximum height of 1236 meters at the Sant Jeroni peak, this mountain 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.
Although this characteristic culminates with the location of the Monserrat monastery almost at its summit, the mountain is also home to small churches and hermitages such as, for example, those of Santa Cecilia, Sant Benet, Sant Joan or Sant Jeroni.
