Situated in the middle of nowhere in the Pyrenees with nothing around but trees and mountains, this is a wonderful ruin to visit. The climb up is a little steep but it is worth it and the best part...

Stunning scenery which will take your breath away. Quite a drive up a winding and sometimes narrow road. It was 36c on the day we went so the walk from the car park to the castle was pretty tough. However a beautiful and historic location which is well worth a visit.

Beautifull castle, a bit of a tough ride and walk to get to but definetly worth it for the view. Do be careful on windy days!
