Montau, Mountain summit in Olesa de Bonesvalls, Spain.
Montau is a limestone formation reaching about 658 meters within the Garraf Massif in the Catalan Coastal Range. The area offers various routes around its summit, ranging from gentler paths to steeper mountain trails.
The mountain formed millions of years ago through geological processes that shaped its limestone layers. Over time, it became an important reference point and measurement location for mapping the region.
The slopes here have long drawn hikers and climbers who explore the established routes. The place attracts people who enjoy traditional mountain activities and feel connected to the local landscape.
The best time to climb is in early morning when temperatures are cooler and fewer people are on the routes. Bring plenty of water, sturdy footwear, and a map since trails are marked but not always clearly visible everywhere.
The summit sits on a boundary between two Catalan administrative areas, marking a natural dividing line between them. This cross-border location makes it a notable point for understanding how this region is geographically organized.
