Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac Natural Park

Nature · Talamanca, Bages, Barcelona

The Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac natural park extends across the south of the Bages and also over the Moianès and the Vallès Occidental, between the peaks of la Mola (1,104 m) and Montcau (1,052 m), where the monastery of Sant Llorenç del Munt, which gives the massif its name, stands. Managed by the Barcelona Provincial Council, it was declared a natural park in 1987 and in 1998 was extended to its current 13,694 hectares; in August 2003 a fire that started in Sant Llorenç Savall devastated its north-eastern area. The territory comprises two massifs, that of Sant Llorenç del Munt and the Obac range, joined by the Estenalles pass, where there is an information centre. The subhumid Mediterranean climate favours forests of holm oaks, pines and oak woods.
