This is the old road from or to Portbou. Almost no traffic, no tunnels but good views on the tunnels on the new road

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.

Cross-border crossing between the two states that divided Catalonia after signing the Treaty of the Pyrenees on November 7, 1659. It is part of the Walter Benjamin Route, in total it is approximately 15 km (we know that Benjamin spent a night in the middle of the road) that can be done in one direction for about 5 or 6 hours to return by train from Banyuls to in Portbou. The route, which is signposted, is relatively easy and also coincides with an old smugglers' trail and with the so-called Lister Route, since it was here where the Republican general retreated with his troops in 1939, after of the defeat against the Francoist side.

From this viewpoint you can see at the bottom an area irrigated by the Orlina River that nourishes about 3000m2 full of centuries-old oaks, ideal for going down and regaining strength. If you look the way you came you will see the Espolla and in the opposite direction the Coll de Bañuls. One km from here you will find a Generalitat farm that is working on the implantation of an extinct species of roof rack.

A newly paved road with little traffic in winter, but you should pay attention on weekends and in summer, as vehicles travel at high speed. When you approach the tunnel, you can cross it on the lane or sidewalk parallel to the road. The noise is deafening, but it is safe. The ascent to tunnel G-92 offers panoramic views of Portbou, the sidings, beaches and mountain tops. It will take approximately 30 minutes to travel it on an electric bicycle in eco mode.

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.

One of the most significant moments in the history of the Portbou border was during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the Second World War (1939-1945). During this period, many people crossed the border from Spain to France to escape the political persecution and repression of the Franco regime. It was also an escape point for Jewish refugees and others persecuted by the Nazi regime in Europe. Today, the border between Portbou and Banyuls-sur-Mer is a quiet crossing point between Spain and France, and both places are popular tourist destinations on the Costa Brava. The European community, especially through the European Union (EU), has had a significant impact on the borders between its member countries, including the border between Spain and France. The EU has made efforts to promote the free movement of people and goods within its territory, which has led to a number of changes to the internal borders of its Member States. In the case of the border between Spain and France at Portbou and other crossing points, the entry of Spain into the European Economic Community (EEC), the precursor of the EU, in 1986, and the subsequent accession of both countries to the EU in 1986 and 1993, respectively, led to the elimination of many traditional border controls. This allowed for greater ease of movement for EU citizens and a more efficient flow of goods between the two countries. The introduction of the Schengen Area also had a significant impact on the border between Spain and France. The Schengen Agreement, which came into force in 1995, eliminated border controls in the countries that are part of this agreement, which includes Spain and France. As a result, the border at Portbou and other crossing points became much more permeable, allowing the free movement of people within the Schengen Area. In summary, the European community and European integration through the EU and the Schengen Area have had a significant impact on the border between Spain and France at Portbou, promoting free movement and cross-border cooperation.

The distance from the viewpoint to the border with France is about 8km, you will travel along a road without vehicles and with the occasional veteran cyclist who will surely repeat the area because the truth is that it is worth it. You will hardly use up battery, only in the final part of the section but very little (it seems like there is a lot of positive slope but that's all it seems...).

Very nice climb. The side road winds its way up to the border over many hairpin bends. A highlight is the view of the huge Portbou freight railway station. If you don't have any energy left, you can take a shortcut on the highway through the tunnels.

Note the sign coming from Spain: "France" was sprayed over with "Catalunya Nord". The feeling of togetherness in the cross-border region is also reflected in the yellow and red flags on both sides of the border.

It is a piece of history that is neglected here. It was formally defined in 1659 and separates both countries from Hendaye and Fuenterrabía in the west, which lie above the Pyrenees, to Cerbère and Portbou next to the Mediterranean Sea.
