 The "Little Yellow Train" pulls into Fontpédrouse-St Thomas lès Bains station |
Fifteen years ago, the 1992 Olympics put Catalonia on the map. Barcelona is now the proud heartland of the autonomous Catalan-speaking Spanish Catalonia. North of the Spain-France border, French Catalonia is now starting to proclaims its own identity. From the French Catalonian "capital", Perpignan, the most intriguing of the many exits from town is the road to the south-west, to the rugged region of Cerdanya, known in French as la Cerdagne. A fun way to get to the Cerdagne is aboard "the little yellow train", le petit train jaune.
