Plain of la Calma

Nature · Montseny, Vallès Oriental, Barcelona

The Pla de la Calma is a plateau in the westernmost part of the Montseny massif, extending across portions of the municipalities of Tagamanent, el Brull, Sant Pere de Vilamajor, Montseny and Cànoves i Samalús, between the peaks of Matagalls and the Turó de l'Home, to which it connects via the Sant Marçal and Collformic passes, enclosing the upper basin of the river Tordera. Formed of sedimentary rock, with reddish sandstone visible in nearby buildings such as the church of el Brull, its present-day landscape of broad meadows and moorland — although it would naturally correspond to forest — is the result of traditional livestock farming and agriculture. Its highest peak is the puig Drau, at 1344 metres, crossed by the GR 5 long-distance trail, known as the sender dels Miradors.
