Great trail for mountain biking, but some sections are not easy. Good physical condition is necessary. Thanks to whoever put this trail together. Tiwok66

Mountain biking

This village lies at the foot of the Aspres and is surrounded by two limestone plateaus, the Causse de Thuir and the Roc de Majorque (altitude 443 m). Founded in the 10th century, it seems to have been forgotten by time after serving as the capital of the Viscounty of Vallespir for more than three centuries.
