La Cerdanya is a Pyrenean comarca in northern Catalunya. There are actually two parts to Cerdanya, a result of its division between Spain and France as part of the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees. The northern part, Alt Cerdanya, belongs to France, whereas the southern part, La Cerdanya (also known as the Baix Cerdanya), is Spanish territory. It is bordered by the Catalan comarques of Alt Urgell to the west, Solsonès and Berguedà to the south and Ripollès to the east. To cause further confusion, La Cerdanya is itself divided between the provinces of Girona and Lleida.The landscape is typically Pyrenean, with deep valleys carved out by the area’s many rivers, such as El Segre and La Llosa. Lakes are surrounded by pine trees and overlooked by snowcapped peaks, which in the north reach heights of nearly 3,000 meters, like Tossa Plana de Lles (2,916 metres). Further south, La Cerdanya spreads into the Parc Natural del Cadí-Moixeró with its steep cliffs and the Massís de Pedraforca, an important peak of notable geological value. The park is home to some 1,500 species of plants and trees as well as hundreds of species of wildlife, including amphibians, birds and even wolves.
