Puig d'en Jordà, Mountain summit between Banyuls-sur-Mer, France and Rabós, Spain
Puig d'en Jordà is a mountain summit at the border between Banyuls-sur-Mer in France and Rabós in Spain, rising to 754 meters. Its slopes are composed of crystalline schist, slate, and phyllite exposed in natural rock layers throughout the terrain.
The mountain is located at border marker 595, which designates the historical boundary line between France and Spain. This border follows territorial agreements that made the peak a landmark point along the boundary between the two countries.
Local hiking associations maintain the mountain trails, incorporating this peak into the FEEC100 list of notable Catalonian summits.
Climbing the peak requires solid hiking experience and proper equipment due to steep slopes and rocky terrain. The best time to hike is between spring and autumn when weather conditions are more stable.
The geological structure reveals three distinct rock types - crystalline schist, slate, and phyllite - forming natural layers across the mountain surface.
