Les Monges lake


Near El Repòs square, half hidden under the rock, there is a small pond of stagnant water known as Les Monges lake. The lake is a flooded cavern with crystal-clear waters. In order to see it, you must get very close and crouch down.

The name of the lake is related to a local legend, which tells of a convent of nuns that was destroyed by a lightning strike during a terrible storm. This was punishment for a night of debauchery that the nuns had shared with some gentlemen who had taken refuge in the convent after a hard day’s hunting.
