A pass that is not too difficult to climb and offers a magnificent landscape when crossing the border at the summit.

It is a mountain pass located at an altitude of 1,513 metres, on the border between France and Spain, connecting Vallespir (France) with Ripollès (Catalonia, Spain). It is a historic and strategic place, used for centuries as a trade route and also during the Retirada (1939), when thousands of refugees crossed the pass fleeing the Spanish Civil War. Today, it is a popular hiking spot and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Pyrenees.

This festival is one of the oldest and most representative of Pyrenean folklore, symbolizing the struggle between man and nature.

The village has a strong medieval character, with well-preserved walls and a citadel, Fort Lagarde, which dominates the town from above. This fort was built in the 17th century and is an important symbol of border defence during that period.
