Important information that ought to be included. Does the border between France and Spain absolutely follow the crest of the peaks and ridges of the Pyrenees (and the watershed), or are there exceptions to this?
For example, here in the U.S.A., a lot of the boundary between Idaho and Montana absolutely follows the Continental Divide, which is the crest of the Rocky Mountains, and the watershed between water that flows west to the Pacific and water that flows east to the Atlantic. There are other boundaries in the U.S.A. and Canada that follow watersheds (the crests of mountains and ridges) like this. 74.163.43.71 ( talk) 05:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I have added some missing Spanish ski resorts to the list, I guess the author of the previous list was French! David 13:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I don't consider the links to Pyrenees Guide and Pyrenees Tourism as inappropriate external links. Pyrenes Guide was long time ago in the Wikipedia Pyrenees page, and includes more than 1000 articles about the Pyrenees culture, villages, people, events, walking routes, etc...
Regarding Pyrenees Tourism, includes a guide, maps, forum, ski resorts, spas, a directory... and everything to help the person that is interested in the Pyrenees.
They are not spam websites, I think they are good information resources about the Pyrenees Mountains and that is why I included them as external links. Sorry for my English. Regards
These are the links:
The 2 links that have been removed are 2 of the most popular websites (type Pyrenees in google) for information about the pyrenees mountains, they offer free accurate information in English. I don't understand why they are considered spam, but a site about trekking holidays (that is now as external link) is not.
I took out the trivia. This was a reference to a really obscure sci-fi story. Not worth mentioning in this article, IMO. Steve Dufour 18:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
I just added some pictures that are more beautiful in my opinion. And, there are no Spanish spas mentioned which I did; and the Spanish political division should come first because 2/3 of the mountains are located in Spain. So it is NOT Spanish POV, and if you wish you might add pictures of the French Pyrenees instead of removing pictures from the Spanish side. -- Gligan 12:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Who, supposedly, uses this quasi-French spelling in English? Looks like a typo, not a legitimate usage. Varlaam ( talk) 20:39, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The list looks like anti-Spanish. Why all the peaks on the list of Spain are divided in different autonomous communties but the French peaks are all "France"? Lufve ( talk) 20:08, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
The border between France and Spain are the Pyrenees Mountains and they are also perfectly translated from Moksha Pyrenees–Pyrene–Fence and indeed the Pyrenees is a natural fence in the form of mountains separating France from Spain along the entire border between them, from the words piremes–to fence or birine–a vegetable garden or fenced place. Hence, respectively, the name of the Iberian Peninsula as a Fenced Peninsula. Author: Alex White Karolina Gergert ( talk) 09:17, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
The article says "The Pyrenees are nearly as rich in endemic species as the Alps, and among the most remarkable instances of that endemism is the occurrence of the monotypic genus Xatardia (family Apiaceae), which grows only on a high alpine pass between the Val d'Eynes and Catalonia. Other examples include Arenaria montana, Bulbocodium vernum, and Ranunculus glacialis."
Those three latter species are not endemic to the Pyrenees! The last grows as far away from the Pyrenees as Greenland and the Bering Strait, while the range of the second stretches east to Caucasus.
