Gorge De Galamus — Attraction in Prades

This gorge is beautiful and the Saint Antoine hiking trail to the Ermitage is worth seeing. Many birds nest here and far below, the L'Agly flows its way and delights many tourists in diving suits who take a guided hike over the rocks, through the water and along the small waterfalls.
