Very good Gail. The Pyrenees of course - at least some of them! -
are in Catalonia, along with Barcelona. Just back from the Pyrenees
last night in fact, quite superb birding and I was there on a family
long weekend and only managed quick pre-breakfast trips (I'm sure
we're all familiar with those).
