    Tips

    The Coll del Pla de l'Arca is a hill located at 602 m high on the ridge of the Serra de l'Albera that separates the communal areas of l'Albera, in the region of Vallespir, in Northern Catalonia and Jonquera, which belongs to Alt Empordà. It is very close to the terminal with Pertús.

    It is[1] at the south-west end of the Albera district and to the north of the Jonquera district, very close to where these two districts meet the Pertús district. It is west of Puig dels Homes.

    In this pass is the border marker[2] number 581: a large square-plan marker with a pyramidal head, with the number in black within the white frame that usually surrounds it on most markers. It is on the western side of the road.
