Introduction
We are at 2,100 m, at the lower limit of the alpine grassland and the upper limit of the subalpine black pine woodland. |
The northern slopes are often more forested than the soles. These forests, at lower levels, have been cut to favor the formation of pasture meadows. |
Along with the black pine there are shrubs that accompany it. In this case we find the juniper, with sharp leaves and which, at lower levels, is a very large shrub; and the pretty crouton or scallops, a small bush of the heather family (Ericaceae). (foto) |
Now in September we have found gentians countryside which were flowering, with 4 petals lilac flowers. |
If we turn, looking from where we come we see the valley of Vall-Llobre that goes straight from Setcases. On the slope at our left side, the refuge of the Costabona and the mouth of the Fra Joan mine. |
