Puig Neulus/Pico de Neulos,
Serra de l’Albera, has a Catalan name and was my final Spanish mountain,
although I started in France and much of the short way walked on the French
side of the border fence. It is 1257m high, P972, JMH35 at N42.48214 E2.94708.

The mast
road from Le Perthus is barricaded 500 metres before you can reach the actual
Col de Pou itself. However, there is room for several vehicles on a
bend/junction at (1051m) N42.47958 E2.93455. It is possible to walk/cycle the
rest of the way on the paved road. However, it is better to leave the road at
the Col de Pou (1131m) N42.47501 E2.93395 and follow the border fence – I
included a quick detour to the ermita at Pou de la Neu, however was not
overwhelmed by it.
The summit is marked by a Spanish trigpoint and a rather
tall French pile of stones – and a communications mast. There was a clearish
view all round including a cloud topped Canigou to the west and the
Mediterranean to the south-east.
My descent
route was back by the fence to the col and then the road to the bend.
4.68km, 532m

Overnight at
the summit of Pic de Nore (1211m) – and this is a French Major, P752 at N43.42458
E2.46259 with a large communication mast and an OKish view whenever the mist
cleared. It was also extremely breezy.
