The Pyrenees are a mountain range straddling the border between France and Spain. They stretch for about 491 km (305 miles) from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea. These mountains are known for their rugged peaks, stunning valleys, and diverse flora and fauna. They offer opportunities for hiking, skiing, and other outdoor activities. Think of them as a natural wall dividing the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. The region is rich in culture and history.
