We are looking for this place #180:
Remember, you can send your photos to us at info@travesiapirenaica.comas this one sent to us by Llorenç Pinsach from a mythical mountain in the eastern Pyrenees. Here are the clues:
Tracks:
- The peak is located in a massif in the eastern Pyrenees, only about 50 km from the Mediterranean.
- Although it is located in the French region of Conflent, it is of great symbolism for Catalonia.
- This is one of the classic climbs in the Pyrenees.

We are looking for this place #179:
This week's photograph is a difficult one, we are not going to fool ourselves, but with the clues... I took it after reaching the summit, the one shown. I had seen a small promontory following the ridge and I went up to it to take in the view - I later found out it was another "tresmil" -. I looked back and fired.
Tracks:
- It is the culminating point of one of the 11 sectors in which the 217 Pyrenean three-thousanders are concentrated. A big one.
- This is one of the sectors with the highest number of three-thousanders; almost a fifth of the total is found here.
- Although the origin of its name is unknown, one of the most likely explanations refers to its "stony seas". This is probably why Schrader, in 1874, claimed that this mountain could be demolished by 100 men in a month. Another explanation suggests the presence of partridges.
