Puig de les Eres, Mountain peak at Spanish-French border near Banyuls-sur-Mer, France and Espolla, Spain
The peak of Puig de les Eres rises to 698 meters, featuring rocky outcrops and Mediterranean vegetation across its slopes and surrounding valleys.
The mountain territory marked a strategic point between French and Spanish domains during medieval times, serving as a natural boundary between kingdoms.
