Mountain of the Holy Doctors

The Mountain of the Holy Doctors is a mountain range located in the municipality of Sant Julià de Ramis in the comarca of Gironès, with a maximum elevation of 206 meters. It is an eminently forested area that encompasses the mountain of the Holy Doctors and is surrounded by the N-II and N-IIa roads. The forest masses are quite diverse, although the mixed forest of oaks and pines, mainly white pine, predominates. This structure is quite significant, as it is a clear indication of the high fire risk in the municipality. Other present wooded forest formations include homogeneous white pine forests and two patches of chestnut groves located on the shady slope and testimonies of past silvicultural activity. We also find scrubby meadows in sunny locations, situated on the drier and sunnier ground, and garrigue, located on the steeper sunny land. It is worth mentioning that in this area there are several open spaces that complement the wooded forest matrix and host a significant variety of fauna and plant species, as many of these use them as hunting grounds. Overall, the mosaic landscape that is structured there signifies an increase in ecotonal bands, which is of great importance for the biodiversity of the mountain, where the presence of the tawny owl, believed to breed in this area, the little egret, the kingfisher, and the otter stand out.
