Puig del Faig

Puig del Faig rises to 922 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between France and Spain in the eastern Pyrenees mountain range.

The mountain has served as a geographical marker for centuries, guiding travelers and merchants between French and Spanish territories through established mountain passages.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on the mountain slopes, continuing customs that date back many generations in both French and Spanish communities.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from Maureillas-las-Illas, with the main path requiring approximately three hours of walking to reach the top.

The summit provides simultaneous views of both Mediterranean landscapes and Pyrenean peaks, marking the exact point where two distinct geological formations meet.
