Comapedrosa Natural Park Day

The first documented ascent to the summit of Comapedrosa took place on 22 September 1858, undertaken by six members of the Spanish-Andorran commission tasked with demarcating the border between the two countries. To mark this anniversary, 22 September was declared Park Day. To celebrate the anniversary of Comapedrosa Natural Park, the Pitavola del Comapedrosa takes place every year: a festive, family-friendly day dedicated to discovering and enjoying nature, with activities and initiatives that bring the park’s values and biodiversity closer to young and old alike.
