If you have a couple of days to spare, a trip to the craggy, snow-topped Pyrenees provides a complete contrast to the Mediterranean coast surrounding Barcelona. The Aigüestortes, Estany de Sant Maurici and Ordesa National Parks provide sanctuary for chamois, wild boar and other mountain species. Glacial lagoons, jagged granite formations and verdant valleys with myriad alpine flowers and forests of sober black pine represent the quintessence of this great mountain range. One of the most important preserves of upland wildlife in Europe, the Pyren ean range is every walker's dream.
