The eastern tripoint of Andorra
In 2001 I visited the Portella Blanca, the mountain pass on the
spot of the eastern tripoint of Andorra. In july 2004 I made new photos
of this tripoint. On this page an account.
A
map of the area. Notice the Pic de la Portella and the Pic de Camp
Colomer. Some pictures were taken from these mountain peaks.
I approached the pass from the east. The chalkish hillsides give an explanation of the name Portella Blanca (the white pass).
At the pass there's a ESFR-bordermarker, nr. 427.
The bordermarker, more in detail
This 360 degrees panorama was taken from Pic de la Portella. The ADES-borderline is approximately.

This
picture was taken from the mountain ridge south-east to the tripoint.
On this clear sunny day there was a tremendous view of the mountains of
Andorra. To the left we see the Pic de Camp Colomer and from there the
ridge (which is the ESFR-border) descending to the Portella Blanca
which is clearly visible.
