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.

Democratic Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

The Democratic Memorial of Catalonia, created on November 1, 2007, is a public institution of the Generalitat of Catalonia. This entity aims to preserve the democratic memory of Catalonia, in particular the Second Republic, the Republican Generalitat, the Civil War and the victims for ideological, conscientious, religious or social reasons, as well as the repression during the Franco dictatorship. The Democratic Memorial works on the conservation, research, and dissemination of this historical heritage, focusing on respect for human rights and the fight for democracy.

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.
