Puig Neulós, Mountain summit at French-Spanish border, France and Spain

The Puig Neulós reaches an elevation of 1257 meters, featuring a composition of crystalline schist, slate, and phyllite across its rocky terrain.

The summit appears in documents from 1322 as Podio Nebuloso, deriving its name from Latin terms indicating a rounded peak frequently covered by clouds.

A shepherd named Emmanuel Coste constructed La Reyne de las Founs, a rock formation near a water source, which smugglers used for coded messages.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Laroque-des-Albères, with yellow paint markers guiding visitors through an 18-kilometer challenging trek.

The mountain contains restricted military antennas on its French side and forms part of the Paratge Natural d'Interès Nacional de l'Albera reserve.
