Gorge de Galamus

---

Today we’ve had the best walk ever. We’re some 50 miles from the Pyrénées Orientales, but our trip with our walking group was worth every drop of petrol to get there. The hillsides there are arid, stony and scrubby, very Spanish really, and on a warm day like this, scented with juniper and thyme. The high spot of the day, however, was walking above the Gorge de Galamus. If only my pictures gave even some idea of how stunning it is. The gorge sides are sheer, bare rock with stunted shrubs clinging to them, and hundreds of feet below, a busy river of bluish green water tumbles about the rocks at the bottom (Don’t lean over! Scarey!). Above are extraordinary crags and precarious boulders.

There really is nothing else for it. You must come and see for yourself.
