Panorama des de El Far / El Far panoramic view

Aquest és el panaroma mirant cap al sud, des de l'església del Santuari d'El Far, a La Selva. Està situat dramàticament sobre un cingle que domina tota la vall del Ter mitjà, des de Sau fins a Girona ciutat. De fet, el terme "far" indica que es feu servir, segurament en època romana, com a punt de transmissió de senyals.

Heu vist El Senyor dels Anells, en concret El Retorn del Rei? Doncs això.

========================

The church of El Far sanctuary, in Catalonia it's located on top of a large cliff, like a huge boat's prow (at 1123 m. above sea level). It's far from the coast, yet it's name El Far ("the lighthouse") may confuse some people.

But in ancient and medieval times, the name "far", pharus in latin, meant not only the coastal ones, but all kind of light signaling positions: fire beacons. Have you seen "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"? That's it!

As you could see, the panorama is incredible. From Sau, following towards Susqueda and down the Ter valley, even Girona could be seen clearly.
