Tuca de Lliterola

The Tuca de Lliterola peak reaches an elevation of 3,095 meters above sea level, marking the natural border between Spain and France in the Perdiguero massif.

The summit has served as a natural boundary marker between Spain and France since the establishment of the Pyrenean border treaties in the 17th century.
