Regarding

Puig Neulos is the highest point of the Albères massif. It rises to 1256m above sea level, marking the border between France and Spain. On this promontory, we are quickly seized by the contrast of the stone tower built by Manel (legendary shepherd of Albères), a symbol of a bygone era, alongside the television relay station, bristling with antennas and multiple sensors, brand undeniable of our modernity. From this height, one clearly distinguishes the plain of Roussillon bordered by the sea, the chain of the Pyrenees towards the west, and the plain of the Ampurdan where the rocky coast comes to die gently in the bay of Rosas.
