View of Fuente de la Salud

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bring your walking shoes. After the highest point you go on a hiking trail where you really can't cycle. That is dangerous with your cycling shoes. Enjoyed it all the way to the top. Middle section, hiking trail, swearing. Then enjoy again.

Puig de Sant Cristau

Highlight • Summit

Wonderful ! real sensations of altitude. Loop path. Departure from the Albère town hall. It climbs strong, mostly in the shade. Little by little, sumptuous panoramas offer themselves to the gaze. The summit is more mineral. Both the ascent and the descent are no problem for people prone to vertigo like me. A little practice, take your time not to get into the red, have good feet with sometimes unstable stones and slippery leaves on the descent. Sticks seem essential to me. A trail not to be missed in good weather.
