De bästa cykelrutterna runt Coustouges

water fountain

Charming place with a fantastic bar/restaurant, El Tap. Simply great and a great base for exploring the region by bike/gravel bike/mountain bike.

Nice place with a good cafe

dynamic lighting in Catalan colors at night.

Fantastic gorges that today have enough water to immerse yourself in with your whole body. Today I was the only one who swam in them, but it was a "tasty" after almost 50 km and 1400 meters of elevation gain.

Don't be fooled by the name, the only thing left of the Hostal is its name. However, it serves as a reference point. From here you can take the route to Albanyá, to Bassegoda or to France (Vilarouge and St Llorenç de Cerdans)

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the valley here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.

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.
