Peak
Puig Neulos
Culminating at 1256 meters above sea level and marking the border between France and Spain, Puig Neulos is the highest point of the Massif des Albères. On this promontory, one is very quickly seized by the contrast of the stone tower, and the television relay station. The view is breathtaking. We can clearly see the Roussillon plain bordered by the sea, the Pyrenees mountain range to the west, and the Ampurda plain where the rocky coast comes to die gently in the Bay of Rosas.
