Camping at the field with hot air balloons | Tour de Cerdagne Train Jaune, Bains de LLO, Centrale solaire Ello in Pyrenees, France
This was our third day of GR de Pays Tour de Cerdagne in Pyrenees-Orientales, France. We hiked 17 kms from the town Bourg-Madame, passing through villages Err, Vedrinyans, Llo and getting to Eyne. The night was pretty warm for the start of September there was no wind so we had a good sleep. We woke up that day quite early disturbed by the weird sounds that seemed to us like a gas burning so we thought it to be the work on the railway that was passing right above our camp spot. To our surprise when we looked out of the tent we could see no signs of it but…

Walking through historical roman villages and Santa Maria de Bell-Lloc church | Tour de Cerdagne Day 2 Dorres to Puigcerda in Pyrenees, France
This was our second day of GR de Pays Tour de Cerdagne in Pyrenees-Orientales, France.

First day hiking the beautiful trail GR de Pays Tour de Cerdagne in Pyrénées-Orientales, France | Font-Romeu to Dorres
This was our first day of GR de Pays Tour de Cerdagne trail that we decided to do as a tribute to this beautiful region where we have been living for the last 3 years now. It is a circular trail that can be done in either direction and we decided to go counter clockwise starting in Font-Romeu village. Previously we have done the parts of this trail here and there but have never had a chance to hike it as a whole. So we thought it would be an amazing hike to do to be able to pass by many interesting attractions and overall show the different parts of…
