Bm519,

And a bit further a memorial about the Spanish refugees in 1939 at the end of Civil War.

Bm518, easy to find
Back to the Col and exploring the other side.
A waymarked trail seems to be closed off because of a 'private' -sign I motice.

From this bm - to return to the Col - I can take that waymarked trail which trespasses that private terrain, evaded earlier.

Back on the Coll, I think I'm done. But after checking my notebook, I discover that I missed bm517!

So back on the mountain-ridge.  On this picture: looking back to Col d'Ares.
Bm517, easy to find.

And back to Prats-de-Mollo via the same trail as yesterday.

And back on the Camping Municipal with even the comfort of a real chair,  friendly offered by my neighbour.
