Thematic
route that goes on by the vertical line of the Parisian meridian, that
begins in Dunkerque and ends in Barcelona (el Masnou).
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the measuring of this meridian
(the base of the Decimal Metrical System), France and Catalonia agreed
to call it The Green Meridian, and they also agreed about the creation
of a marked route suitable to be covered by foot or by bicycle.
France decided to plant several trees to remind people this meridian.
The problem is that this way has not been marked yet. In Catalonia, this
marking has been done by now and the Green Meridian can be covered by
foot and by bicycle.
This route begins in the Col of the Pal. Nearby, there is the bivouac-refuge
of Costabona (18 beds) of the FEEC.
