Puig de l'Àliga

Puig de l'Àliga rises to 527 meters, featuring crystalline schist and slate formations along the Mediterranean coastal range of the Pyrenees mountains.

The mountain has marked the natural boundary between France and Spain since 1659, when the Treaty of the Pyrenees established the current border.

Local residents from both Cerbère and Portbou maintain traditional hiking routes across the mountain, connecting French and Spanish communities through shared paths.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from both Cerbère and Portbou, with the ascent taking approximately two hours from either starting point.

The summit provides simultaneous views of two countries, with the Mediterranean Sea to the east and the Pyrenees mountain chain extending westward.
