| The highlands of the sun God |

 The Catalan Pyrenees are not like other mountains. They have a southern accent, a Mediterranean perfume and even more sun both in summer and in winter.
Like brother and sister, so close to each other but so jealously different, the Capcir and the Cerdagne, on the borders with the Ariege, Spain and Andorra, are the highest part of the Catalan Region.
This is the realm of eagles that proudly fly over the mountain tops of eternal snow, the lakes, forests, and the high mountain pastures.
But the incontested master of these high plateaux and spectacular summits is, without doubt, the sun that shines on these grandiose landscapes for over 300 days a year.
