We continue on the Tour de Vallespir to the source of la Muga with this tile.

 Mooie plek, begin van de Muga, lijkt op grote aardverschuiving.
It seems one big landslide.
This picture: descending on the French side.

 
It's starting to rain.

We continue on the Tour des Vallespir but at height 1158m we take a dirtroad until a point where we follow a path which leads to Coll del Pare.
From the Coll del Pare, there's a waymarked path along the border leading to Coll de les Falgueres.
