A magnificent view across the entire Pyrenees mountain range. We love it.
Dogs are allowed off the lead in the hamlet; they’re not aggressive, but do be careful if you have a dog.

A peaceful and interesting walk. It took us 1 hour 50 minutes, including a short break. The only downside was that, near the farms mentioned in point 4, we came across several dogs running loose – they were quite aggressive and their owners weren’t around. We managed to get past, but it wasn’t exactly a relaxing experience.
