31 The Pyrenees

They might not have the altitude of the Alps, but the Pyrenees pack a mighty
mountain punch, and if you’re an outdoors-lover, you’ll be in seventh heaven
here. With quiet villages, rustic restaurants, spectacular trails and snowy
mountains galore, the Pyrenees are a wild adventure – just remember to
break in your hiking boots before you arrive.
