North end of the French-Spanish village of Le Perthus-El Portús (Els Límits).
<p>
The Perpignan-Figueres HSL will run through the Alberes Tunnel (8171m) at this stage. 
<br>
Interestingly, it will be routed some 110m underneath the border point where Motorways A9 and A7 converge...
<p>
The route marked in pink is that originally planned for the cross-border tunnel.
<p>
From this place, one can see Perpignan pretty well.
