Have visited this page since 2004. Still as lovely as ever. Foix is a lovely, quaint place, and your photographs surely capture the essence of it all. The cave seems fascinating, Manuel.

This is beautiful! I was reading an article on this region during the 1320's, so I had to come here and take a look to see it for real. Must visit!

I passed through this little town on my way to Pas de la Casa, Andorra. It was simply breathtaking and I would love to go back there to visit some time in summer. Great Page!!!
