La Mola & Montcau

"La mola mola, mola molt la mola" - Someone, not me.

What better a reason for a long weekend than the first weekend of December? Ok, so there's probably a better reason for this pont than just the fact we've started a new month, but I am still grateful to Spain for yet again providing us with a weekend longer than the week at uni. Anyway, in order to make the most of the extra day off, some of my friends from GBU (the Spanish version of Christian Union) organised a hike to some mountains near Barcelona: la Mola and Montcau. 

It was a beautiful day: frosty and crisp when we arrived but the sun was out and the air was so lovely and clean and fresh! The town of Terrassa lay just underneath us, Barcelona a bit further away, Montserrat wrapped in fog, mountains and more mountains and then the snow covered Pyrenees in the distance. There were horses and donkeys to visit, caves to venture into with water dripping down from the ceiling; paths with mud, dust, rocky ones and tree covered ones and then parts of the trail that were more like rock climbing and so therefore they had ropes along them for people to hold onto. 

We walked a lot, but had some time to relax at the top, stopping for lunch just outside the monastery at the top of la Mola from which we could see for miles!

"Perquè les coses invisibles d'ell, el seu poder etern i la seva divinitat, es fan clarament visibles desde la creació del món, éssent enteses per mitjà de les coses fetes, de manera que la gent no té excusa" Romans 1:20

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20
