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.
