    Tips

    Modest summit located at the easternmost point of the Pyrenean ridge. This fact is what gives it a well-deserved relevance, since it can well be considered the first/last summit of the Pyrenees. Although the small range of Cap de Creus, geographically, is located in a more eastern area, we can not consider it properly Pyrenean since it is located clearly outside its axial axis. El Puig de Cervera (208m), on the other hand, is located entirely on this imaginary axial axis of the Pyrenean chain, and for this reason, we can consider it another peak of the aforementioned mountain range.

    Another notable feature is that at the same summit we will find border bollard no. 601, and therefore penultimate of all those located on the interstate border. The last border pillar, no. 602, we will find it at the so-called Punta de l'Ocell, which is nothing more than the eastern spur of the Puig de Cervera, which ends up plunging into the Mediterranean. Access to Punta de l'Ocell can only be done with a boat going into the sea. Even so, the access is delicate since this whole area is made up of rocky cliffs, so the person who wants to approach this Point must have a good mastery of the marine arts. This fact is probably what has caused this pylon, number 602, to be possibly the least visited of all the existing ones, despite having a great symbolic load.

    It has recently been included in the list of 100 peaks of the F.E.E.C: feec.cat/activitatis/100-cims/cim/puig-de-cervera

      The 205 m high Puig de Cervera lies directly on the border between the southern French municipality of Cerbère and the northern Catalan municipality of Portbou, marked by the border cross N 601. The view of the sea is magnificent, the descent to Portbou is somewhat exposed and not entirely easy.

        Very nice view on the France/Spain border.
