This Peak is considered the 'Olymp of Catalans'. It appears
when the Pyrenees mountain range loses altitude. The Canigó
is a giant that embraces the Roselló until the sea. This
is a beautiful, legendary mountain, full of history and symbol
of Catalonia.
We climbed this peak by one of its traditionals ways. The starting
point was in Mariailles Refugee (1718 m.). Following the GR
10 ('Tour du Canigou'), we reached the Jasse de Cady and the
Aragó Refugee. Then climbed the 'Porteille de Valmanya'
until we found the famous 'xemeneia' (chimney), just before
to put our food on the top (2784 m.)
The sights are amazing: from the highests peaks of Andorra untill
Mediterranean Sea. I shared this views with my friends Patxi,
Pele and Èlia (who appear on the right of the pano). |
