Col du Pourtalet (1794 m/5,920 ft)
This is the summit of a border pass over the Pyrenees, approached from the Spanish side. Looking down on the narrower twisty and misty route into France, snow is piled at the verges but the road is clear. There are two supermarkets open on the Spanish side, selling all kinds of food, clothes and household goods, presumably cheaper than in France.
On the way up at the Embalse de Lanuza (a dammed lake) there is a silent cluster of new stone houses in Lanuza village. The older dwellings are in ruins or submerged.
