Matagalls is considered one of the most emblematic mountains in Catalonia and one of the great literary references.

Together with Montserrat and El Canigó, it forms the triangle of the three verdaguerian summits.

The name Matagalls is mentioned in the year 1500. Before and until well into the seventeenth century, the mountain is known as the Author. The reason for the change of name is unknown.

Iconic place par excellence, which you have to go and visit sometime. Nice views and very quiet.

Hape Kerkeling, a well-known entertainer in the German-speaking world, wrote down some thoughts about a mystical experience (encounter with God) while traveling through Spain, which I would also like to offer to the viewer of this small sacred monument on the Matagalls: "To encounter God, one must first extend an invitation to him, for he will not come uninvited. It is also a form of good manners. We have free choice. He builds an individual relationship with each person. Only someone who truly loves is capable of this." (Hape Kerkeling in "Ich bin dann mal weg")
