This is a single-volume guide to one of Europe's mountain ranges. Evocative as well as practical, it takes the independent traveller the length and breadth of the mountains, indoors and out, without stopping at frontiers. It includes detailed information on the cheapest and best places to stay and eat, on the best bars and refuges, on local buses and trains. This guide unites the French, Spanish and Andorran peaks and valleys, exploring the common links in their history and folklore, their food and fiestas, their art and architecture, their flora and fauna. It also covers the Pyrenean environment, the best walks and climbs, the caves and canyons, rides and rivers and the best skiing, on and off the piste.
