サン＝ジャン＝プラ＝ド＝コルトの峠・トップ10

東側からの登りは不規則で、あまり人が訪れない峠。

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.

It is located at an altitude of approximately 936 metres in the Albera mountain range in the Pyrénées-Orientales, France. It is accessible by road via a narrow, paved route, which climbs from Le Boulou and Laroque-des-Albères. The road offers panoramic views as it ascends through the forest.

At the Col de l'Ullat, there is also a refuge that offers basic services for hikers. Surrounded by forests and with panoramic views, it is an ideal place to enjoy nature and explore the region.

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.
