THE PYRENEES: MY FAVOURITE CORNER

Image
A post by Lucas Molada Serrano . Everything is silent, the world seems to stop, and I feel like I was dreaming. All these feelings come to me when I travel through the Pyrenees.  Pyrenees are, with no doubt, my favourite corner. They are a place where I can think freely and where I can be myself. No one or nothing can annoy me, and I can be whatever I want.   Three-thousand-meter high mountains, enormous rock walls, magical waterfalls and frozen lakes are some of the landscapes you can perfectly see here. You will need to walk for many hours to get to the shelters. This is why people do not come to this incredible place, and that's why I love the Pyrenees. I have been twice to the Pyrenees, and I’m sure that I will return in the future
