The Natural Site of National Interest of La Albera, located in the easternmost sector of the Pyrenees, is an area of great natural and cultural value. It stands out for its abundance of megalithic monuments and Romanesque art. The Sierra de la Albera extends along the eastern section of the Pyrenees, from the Pertús pass to the Mediterranean. It is an area of natural and landscape interest of the first order, with areas of lush, ancient and varied vegetation, and ancient buildings and human remains. It separates the two plains of Rosselló and L'Empordà. The highest summits are Monte Neulós (1,257 meters), Monte de los Pastors (1,167 meters), Monte de los Quatre Termes (1,156 meters) and Pico de Sallafort (992 meters). Within the mountain range there are two sectors with special protection as a Natural Area of National Interest: the western one, Requesens-Baussitges, and the eastern one, Sant Quirze de Colera - Balmeta, separated by the area of the Banyuls hill. The territory has a considerable density of megalithic monuments, the highest in Catalonia, with a large number of dolmens and menhirs, such as La Murtra or Pedra Gentil. The heritage of Romanesque art, with a large number of parishes and hermitages, and the monumental Benedictine monastery of Sant Quirze de Colera, a jewel of Catalan Romanesque, currently undergoing restoration, are also noteworthy. At the end of La Jonquera, to the south of Monte Neulós, the Requesens castle stands out among the treetops, which was renovated at the end of the 19th century according to the model of architectural romanticism, which gave it the stamp of a legendary castle and fancy you currently have. It is also worth highlighting the Albera Tortoise Reproduction Center (Centro de Reproducción de Tortugas de l'Albera), located in the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Camp, in Garriguella.
