The Pyrenees Mountains, stretching from the Atlantic Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean coast, form a natural border between France and Spain, spanning approximately 270 miles (430 kilometers). These snow-dusted peaks have long served as a dividing line between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe. The range is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a variety of activities. Alongside the rugged terrain, visitors can explore hilltop castles and charming alpine villages, each adding layers of history and culture to the landscape.
