The mountains of Sant Llorenç del Munt, Montcau and L’Obac, in the foreground of the photos, and Montserrat, which appears in the background, are two large rocky areas in the south of the Bages region. Both mountain ranges are made of conglomerate rock, that is a large pile of pebbles into a matrix of sand, silt and clay and cemented with calcium carbonate. These materials were sedimented during the Eocene and early Oligocene periods. Both mountain ranges are managed as Natural Parks.
In the 2nd photo, L’Espluga ridge of the Serra de l’Obac is in the foreground.
