In poor condition and dirty, usable in case of emergency

The Green MEPs Jordi Solé and François Alfonsi, and the Social Democrat Éric Andrieu, launched a letter to Pedro Sánchez and Emmanuel Macron, presidents of Spain and France respectively, calling for the reopening of the crossings to be discussed at the 27th Franco-Spanish summit on 19 January in Barcelona. The letter, signed by 31 MEPs, was presented at a press conference at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Two days later, on 20 January, residents of Espolla reopened the coll for the annual Feria de l'Oli y de l'Olivera in the village. However, on 23 January the French authorities closed the crossing again.

Nice shelter, well maintained and also suitable for overnight stays if necessary

The Coll de Banyuls is a mountain pass and border crossing between France and Spain, located in the Albera Massif, the easternmost extension of the Pyrenees. This pass connects the Spanish municipality of Rabós (Alt Empordà, Catalonia) with the French commune of Banyuls-sur-Mer (Pyrénées-Orientales, Occitania). The saddle point of the Coll de Banyuls is located at about 357 meters above sea level. This pass was blocked with large rocks by the French government on January 11, 2021, under the pretext of curbing irregular immigration and the terrorist threat. However, a grassroots organization that was committed to opening the closed border crossings (Esborrem Fronteres) reopened it on January 20, 2023 using an excavator.

Mythical pass of the east of the Pyrenees. Mythical pass of the east of the Pyrenees.

Perfect refuge to rest, make a fire or take a breath. In my case I had to stop to warm my hands a bit because I was frozen.

Super great panorama. Enjoy it. Greetings Marcus
