Introduction

If you then go up to Puig Alt, you will have views over the sea.

We are in the shade of Puig Alt, surrounded by arboreal heath. In front of us we have two beautiful, abandoned farms: directly below, the Mas dels Arbres, and beyond, the planes of Can Caussa. The sharp, pointed hill behind Can Caussa is Puig de l'Àliga (462 m). Further away, there is the Pyrenean axis from Canigó (to the right of Puig de l'Àliga) to Costabona and Puigmal (left).

To the right of the Puig de l'Àliga, on the other side of the road to where we have climbed, stands the Serra de Rodes and the Serra Verdera (an Integral Nature Reserve within the Natural Park) separated by Puig de Queralbs (621 m); the highest and last mountain is Sant Salvador de Saverdera (681 m). Within its shadow stands the Romanesque Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes (10th -12th Centuries).

If we follow with the line of sight towards the northeast (right), we see the Mar d’Amunt and Port de la Selva bay, from east to Llançà. The Pyrenees descend to the sea along the Serra de l'Albera range and you can’t miss Puig d'Esquers (606 m) just behind Llançà.
