Ancient customs post, immigration and border control.

Former customs checkpoint for entry and exit border control D914, 66290 Cerbère, France After retracing the path to exile from Cerbère to Spain, this road climbs up to Coll dels Bellitres, where time stands still. Here is the border checkpoint of Cerbère between France and Spain. But today, the building of this forward outpost has been abandoned. Cerbère, the front border post of the Pyrenees, is located between France and Spain. Since the establishment of the Schengen Area in 1995, customs officials have left the region. Only the former customs office remains, and some of the customs activities from that time have disappeared, becoming a memory. This road was one of the main locations where the Spanish Republicans fled after the victory of Franco's army in 1939. Nearly 100,000 people crossed this pass to seek refuge in France. You can see that the exchange is permanently closed. No one needs to exchange their francs for pesetas or vice versa. The euro greatly simplifies cross-border trade. Actually, these buildings could have been restored to become a place of memory, providing exhibitions and travel information for those passing through. After arriving at Coll dels Belitres, we reached Spain. Continuing south, we arrived at the city of Portbou, which is the first Spanish city reached when coming from France. Of course, Portbou (Catalonia) is also the last Spanish city before going to France. Pyrenees Mountains
