Border line with France

Highlight • Structure

A border between two countries can be either a physical demarcation such as a wall or fence, or simply an imaginary line that separates two national territories. An interesting example of this is when the border is visible due to differences in the asphalt of a road, where each country uses different types of pavement. The specific nature of a border varies widely depending on the countries involved and their bilateral agreements. These differences reflect the diversity and complexity of international relations.

Banyuls Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The approach from Catalonia is much more pleasant due to the incline, but longer and leads through a pretty, lonely landscape. The journey on the French side is short, but very tough. There is little car traffic on the entire route.

At the pass on the Catalan side there is a small but very solid, publicly accessible refuge with a table, oven and extra bedroom. There is also a spring there, but it only trickles very sparingly.

On the pass itself, several information and memorial plaques remind of the many people who had to flee to France via this pass before the repression by the Franco regime. At the Refugio there is a plaque commemorating two libertarian activists who were arrested here in 1977 and tortured to death in prison six months later.

Coll de Banyuls Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It is in good condition, at least to shelter on a rainy day or even to spend the night. It has a fireplace and firewood (try to replace what you use). The fountain had no water when I passed by, but that is normal after so many months of drought.

Monastery of Sant Quirze de Colera

Highlight • Religious Site

Its history dates back to medieval times. It is believed to have been founded in the 9th or 10th century. During its history, the monastery was an important religious and cultural center in the region.

The monastery has Romanesque architecture and some Gothic parts. The monastery church is an outstanding example of Catalan Romanesque architecture. It presents architectural elements characteristic of that period, such as semicircular arches and decorated columns.

Over the years, the monastery played an important role in the religious life of the region, and housed a community of monks. Today, the monastery has been restored and preserved as a place of historical and religious interest.

The monastery is usually open to the public for sightseeing tours, where visitors can explore its historic architecture and learn more about its religious past.
