Neulós Peak

Nature · la Jonquera, Alt Empordà, Girona

At 1,256 m it is the highest peak of the sierra de l'Albera, an exceptional viewpoint from which the whole of the Empordà, the Gulf of Roses and Canigou can be seen. Its summit, known in French as pic du Néoulous, is shared by the municipalities of la Jonquera, in the Alt Empordà, and of La Roque-des-Albères and Sorède, already in the French Roussillon, whose ridge was the border between the old counties of Empúries and Roussillon and, since the Treaty of the Pyrenees of 1659, between Spain and France. It is included in the list of the 100 cims of the Catalan Federation of Hiking Clubs (Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya) and is one of the usual destinations of hiking routes in the western sector of the range, of which it is the highest peak.
