Τα 8 καλύτερα ορεινά περάσματα Darnius

Ανώμαλο πέρασμα στην ανάβασή του από την ανατολική του πλευρά, λίγο πολυσύχναστο.

Beautiful route and a great view

Hidden border pass between the French eastern Pyrenees and the Catalan Pyrenees.

This pass was important as a passage between regions, especially in activities such as transhumance or the transport of goods. The snow wells that give the place its name were also key elements in the economy of the mountainous areas. The term "Pou de la Neu" refers to the snow or ice wells that were traditionally used to store snow during the winter. These structures, dug into the ground or built with stones, served to preserve ice that was later transported to the lower areas for use in food, medicine or food preservation.

Really enjoyable ride. Id agree with level 3 for fitness it was a a constant climb altho the gradient ranged from 3,6,8% ( with only less than 100m that went up to 14%. So can be riden at your own pace The Hostel at Las illas after the Col is a slight detour but good for Coffee a beer or a sandwich. Lovely flowing decent, At Maureillas i nearly headed back along the main road but glad i didn't as the last 3rd of the ride has quite a different caricature ( mostly cycle paths)

Monument in memory of Luis Company, 1st President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, arrested by Vichy troops and given to the Francoists who executed him.

very nice to drive with great views

From this viewpoint you can see at the bottom an area irrigated by the Orlina River that nourishes about 3000m2 full of centuries-old oaks, ideal for going down and regaining strength. If you look the way you came you will see the Espolla and in the opposite direction the Coll de Bañuls. One km from here you will find a Generalitat farm that is working on the implantation of an extinct species of roof rack.
