Now logging is tightly controlled, but in centuries past, Spain and France were busy extracting huge spruce logs for the masts of their navies. This is why, due to the forestry exploitation carried out for centuries, the predominant species in the forest is the beech, and why the area of mixed forest in which firs and beeches intermingle occupies, according to data from the Government of Navarre, 1,528 hectares, distributed mainly here and in the Aztaparreta ravine (Belagua valley).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buscamos_este_lugar_123\"><\/span>We are looking for this place #123:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In last week's search we told you that the Irati Forest was used to extract the precious spruce trunks from which the masts of the Spanish and French navies were made, and not far from there, in this place, they did not hesitate to blow up the mountain for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lugar123-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39764 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lugar123-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lugar123-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lugar123-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lugar123-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lugar123.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tracks:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The GR10, the long-distance footpath that crosses the Pyrenees from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean along the French side, runs along this path.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In front of these walls is a large fort, listed as a historical monument since 2005.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The main valley is crossed by the French Way of St. James, also called the Aragonese Way when it enters this territory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the <a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/chemin-mature\/\">Chemin de la M\u00e2ture<\/a>translated into Spanish as Camino de los M\u00e1stiles.

The bridge is located just after the confluence of the Gaube gave and the Marcadau gave (together they will form the J\u00e9ret gave), and was a constant crossing point for traders from both sides of the Pyrenees who exchanged animals and products across the valley and the Marcadau pass, at an altitude of 2,541 metres. This is precisely where the name Marcadau comes from, from the name of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1990, with the rise of tourism and the overcrowding of the site, in order to protect it, access by car was restricted a few hundred metres before reaching the bridge, where the gigantic Puntas car park is located today. In high season, a bus runs between Cauterets and the car park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to visit them and go on an excursion, the <a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/sentier-cascades\/\">Waterfalls Trail<\/a> is one of the most recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buscamos_este_lugar_139\"><\/span>We are looking for this place #139:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This beautiful peak, straddling two valleys, also marks a leap between the Pyrenean mountains.

Whoever wants to do the double summit will have to pass this pass twice, as the normal routes each descend to different slopes. The eastern summit or Punta Gourdon (2,897m) is climbed from the Aran valley, usually from the Pe\u00fclla car park; while the western summit or Punta Brulle (2,903m) is usually climbed from the Estany de Sant Maurici via the Amitges refuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buscamos_este_lugar_158\"><\/span>We are looking for this place #158:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rock and loose stone, at more than 3,000 metres there is no space for life.

Without going into too much detail, here are four historical details: the first references to the therapeutic use of its waters date back to 1522 by the Benasque apothecary Francisco Frigoiti; in 1801, the Benasque-born Antonio Cornel, Minister of War, ordered the construction of a house that would later be improved; during the Civil War the facilities were burnt down and rebuilt and modernised at the end of the conflict; in 2019 the baths closed down. And a curiosity, the legend advises that no one should bathe in these waters more than nine times if they do not want to expose themselves to the curse of the devils who are imprisoned in this cave and who are the reason why the water comes out at 37\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buscamos_este_lugar_165\"><\/span>We are looking for this place #165:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From autumn to spring, when many torrents that are usually dry wake up from their summer lethargy, is the best time to visit the waterfalls, and even better, after heavy rains.
