To look at

To do

The Pyrenees are partly located in Catalonia. In the north of this region and beyond the full width of the border between Spain and France. It is much quieter here than in the aforementioned Costas, ideal for nature walks and outdoor adventure sports. Many national parks can be found there. More than worth a visit.
