Trip-summary Part of a 6-days solo-hike from Puigcerda to Prats-de-Mollo along the borderline. Route: Prats-de-Mollo – Coll d’Ares – Prats-de-Mollo. From 8.30am to 18pm, walking time ± 8,5 uur. Nice warm weather |

Bm517, easy to find. And back to Prats-de-Mollo via the same trail as yesterday. |
 | And back on the Camping Municipal with even the comfort of a real chair, friendly offered by my neighbour. |
