Insider tip — Fuente de los Banos o de los Suspiros (Spring of the Baths or of Sighs) is a small sulfurous natural spring near the Spanish border in the Neste d'Aure valley, its bilingual name reflecting the centuries of transhumance trade across this Pyrenean pass. The spring emerges from a limestone outcrop and was historically used by shepherds moving flocks between France and Aragon. The surrounding valley landscape of granite peaks and flowering alpine meadows makes this one of the most scenic minor thermal sites in the French Pyrenees.
