The Green MEPs Jordi Solé and François Alfonsi, and the Social Democrat Éric Andrieu, launched a letter to Pedro Sánchez and Emmanuel Macron, presidents of Spain and France respectively, calling for the reopening of the crossings to be discussed at the 27th Franco-Spanish summit on 19 January in Barcelona. The letter, signed by 31 MEPs, was presented at a press conference at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Two days later, on 20 January, residents of Espolla reopened the coll for the annual Feria de l'Oli y de l'Olivera in the village. However, on 23 January the French authorities closed the crossing again.

Once at this point you will have to decide whether to continue through French or Spanish lands. If you decide to go to Alt Empordar, the first town you will find is La Espolla and you can reach it through a trail with a significant difference in level where the weeds cover part of it and I do not recommend MTB (it will take 2.30 hours). The Route of the 4 refuges of the Tramuntana is a linear route in stages that goes from Roses to Albanyà, with an ascent of 5379 m and a descent of 5204 m. It passes through the 4 shelters of the Empordanès Excursionist Center (Coll de Banyuls shelter, Forn de Calç shelter, Les Salines shelter and Bassegoda shelter).

The Coll de Banyuls is a mountain pass and border crossing between France and Spain, located in the Albera Massif, the easternmost extension of the Pyrenees. This pass connects the Spanish municipality of Rabós (Alt Empordà, Catalonia) with the French commune of Banyuls-sur-Mer (Pyrénées-Orientales, Occitania). The saddle point of the Coll de Banyuls is located at about 357 meters above sea level. This pass was blocked with large rocks by the French government on January 11, 2021, under the pretext of curbing irregular immigration and the terrorist threat. However, a grassroots organization that was committed to opening the closed border crossings (Esborrem Fronteres) reopened it on January 20, 2023 using an excavator.

Perfect refuge to rest, make a fire or take a breath. In my case I had to stop to warm my hands a bit because I was frozen.
