トゥレセールの天然記念物・トップ9

We completed this route on August 29, 2025, and upon reaching the dolmen, we were unable to continue because the trail was closed. We had to return along the same path we had taken. The return trail was closed because it crossed private property.

Magnificent view ! It’s worth going up there 🤩🤩

Infernal ascent, when the trees disappear and you seem to be at the top, the pit is waiting for you. Reserve your strength because the last kilometer, despite being on asphalt, is HELL!

The Pave Mill is an old grain mill supplied with water from the village canal. The Pave Mill's activity lasted until the end of the 19th century. It was inhabited until 1942 and then fell into disrepair. It became municipal property and was restored in 2006 by the Laroque Heritage Association in collaboration with the municipality. The volunteers of this association installed a roof to strengthen and “waterproof” the building. The miller's workshop (on the ground floor) and his accommodation (on the upper floor) are currently being completely restored. The association is actively looking for a millstone that could help complete the work.

Fantastic day, almost spring. But it's always cold here. if you want to go there you must bring warm clothes!

Puig Neulós is the highest point of the Albères massif. It marks the Franco-Spanish border. If we refer to the toponymy, this 1,256 meter summit is often in the clouds. In fact “neulós” means covered in clouds in Catalan.

No more snow in July 2023 - probably little precipitation over the winter...

There are many cork oaks in this section of the hike. The cork oak is a tree found mainly in the western Mediterranean and is known for its bark, which is used as cork. The bark is harvested every nine to twelve years, removing the outer layer to reveal the cork. The bark then grows back and can be harvested again. Cork is used in a variety of products including wine stoppers, flooring and insulation materials. The cork oak is a long-lived tree that can live up to 250 years. It can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a broad, spreading crown. The leaves of the cork oak are evergreen and have a leathery texture. The cork oak is a symbol of sustainability and environmental protection, as its harvest and use help preserve forests and promote biodiversity. It is also an important part of the Mediterranean ecosystem, providing habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species.
