Puig Neulós is the highest point of the Albères massif. It marks the Franco-Spanish border.
If we refer to the toponymy, this 1,256 meter summit is often in the clouds. In fact “neulós” means covered in clouds in Catalan.

Hi ! Reissue of the formula "we go up, we eat and we come back down" rather than doing this loop at a run 😅 Ascent and descent through the woods, only the end of the ridge is uncovered, not bad for summer, and lunch at the chalet de l’Albère, excellent as always 😋
