The current landscapes of the Canigou are the result of natural phenomena (geological, climatological, biological), but also the consequence of centuries of history where man has left his mark on his activities, beliefs and lifestyles. Here is a description of its landscapes from various points of view of natural evolution. The Canigó divides the waters of northern Catalonia and pours them into two parallel valleys through which its two great rivers flow: the Tet and the Tec. Inscribed in the French Environmental Code since the approval of the Law of July 12, 2010, the Grand Site de France label recognizes both the unique value of the site and the interest of the preservation, management and development project.Ī land of iron extraction in the past, this mountain is now an optimal space for hiking, with its 450 km of trails that allow you to go around the massif, discover its most aerial ridges, or go into the small villages and hills surrounding the prized Pica del Canigó. From the western edge you reach Gazamir Peak, to the north, the ridge to Pic Joffre, and to the northeast and east to Mas del Rei and the village of Valmanya. To the south-east it follows another ridge to the Puig de Galinassa and to the south, next to Vallespir, it is delimited by the Puig de Gallinàs and the Puig dels Sarraïs. Structured around the Pica del Canigó, to the south-west it follows the ridge to the top of the Puig de Sethomes and includes the Puig de Rojà. It does not store any personal data.The area classified today as the Great Site of the Canigó Massif extends over 7,820 ha in the highest part of the massif and its highest ridges.

Part travelogue, part vision literature, with aspects of hagiography, homily, autobiography, chivalric romance and anthropological essay, the text is a fascinating and entertaining window into a medieval Catalan nobleman's world view. The Viatge notably provides important first-hand observations on Gaelic society and customs, by a cosmopolitan traveller with a keen eye for detail, and went on indirectly to inspire Lope de Vega's El mayor prodigio o El purgatorio en vida, and Calderón de la Barca's (1600-1681) El purgatorio de San Patricio. An extensive introduction sets his Viatge al Purgatori in context, examining Ramon's life, the factors that motivated the trip, the history of St Patrick's Purgatory, the literary influences on the account, its historicity, its afterlife and its textual history. This book provides a richly annotated translation of Ramon's account of his journeys, both earthly and spiritual. Ramon spent twenty-four hours in the cavern, where he claimed to have travelled through the nine fields of Purgatory, accompanied by demons, before entering the Earthly Paradise and catching a glimpse of Heaven. St Patrick's Purgatory, an underground cavern on Station Island in Lough Derg, was famous throughout Europe as a gateway to the next world, and the Viscount wanted to ascertain if the soul of his recently deceased friend and master, King John I of Aragon, was, if not in Heaven, then at least in Purgatory. In autumn 1397, Viscount Ramon de Perellós, a Catalan nobleman, soldier and diplomat, left the papal palace in Avignon to travel to St Patrick's Purgatory in Donegal, in the northwest of Ireland.
