The Pyrenees form a mountain-border between France and Spain, hence they separate the Iberian peninsula from the rest of Europe. All in all you can count more than twohundred pinnacles that are in excess of 3000 meters.

Of course not all areas of the Pyrenees are gettable for a daytrip. Especially a trip through the foothills can be recommended. There you will find many ancient ruins of the Cathar-castles.

The convents Saint Michel de Cuxa and Saint Martin du Canigou which is situated on the top of an hill are likewise impressive.

During the hot summer months the Pyrenees are a nice and worth seeing refection due to the clear, pure air.
