REGIONAL NATURAL PARK OF THE CATALAN PYRENEES
Read moreIt would be a challenge not to present the Regional Natural Park of the Catalan Pyrenees to you, even in a succinct way, as its competences are so vast. It must be said that its territory extends over 130,000 hectares on a gradient of 300 to 3,000 metres in altitude and 60% of the surface area of the territory is classified: 7 natural reserves, 5 classified natural sites, 7 Natura 2000 sites, 2 UNESCO World Heritage sites (the Vauban citadels of Mont-Louis and Villefranche de Conflent), 3 swimming sites in warm natural waters (Dorres, Fontpédrouse and Llo), thermalism and wellness activities (Vernet les bains and Molitg les bains) as well as the mobility of the inhabitants of the 66 communes with the development of carpooling (Rezo Pouce) and of course the sustainability of our famous Yellow Train. With the help of the Region, the Department and Europe, the NRP is also committed, through its Discovery for Schools programmes, to the preservation and study of the fauna and flora of the Catalan Pyrenees, the study and development of aromatic and medicinal wild plants, the development of local seed production chains, but also to the preservation of the heritage built through the intergenerational knowledge transfer around dry stone workshops. The transmission of knowledge between our elders and young people is one of the NRP's missions to ensure that our territory and culture are preserved.

THE THROATS OF THE MADMAN
Read moreThe narrowest gorges in the world, with passages less than 80 cm wide, frightened the population, who were convinced that they were inhabited by the bruixes (evil witches). The legends merge with the history, that of the Trabucayres, the highwaymen who raged in the region around 1840. This canyon of 1,700 m long and 200 m deep is so narrow in some places that the daylight does not reach the bottom, it is where the Simiots live, those hideous beings straight out of children's stories.
