The small town of Cerbère, at the eastern end of the French Pyrenees and bordering the Catalan province of Girona, is famous for two things. The first is that until a couple of decades ago, it was the gateway station to Europe for Spanish railways, and the second, much more modest, is the tunnel that links the town's beach to the international railway station. This tunnel is a large canvas over a hundred metres long, which street artists from all over the world have used to depict their works, some with a political message, others transgressive, and those that are simply graphic expression. The luminous atmosphere is somewhat gloomy, but you can perfectly appreciate the quality of the works, some by renowned artists although most are by anonymous graffiti artists, who have left their mark on a unique space that leaves no one indifferent.

The place is worth a quiet visit.

La pequeña localidad de Cerbère, en el extremo oriental de los Pirineos franceses y fronteriza con la provincia catalana de Girona, es famosa por dos cosas. La primera es que hasta hace un par de décadas, era la estación de entrada a Europa de los ferrocarriles españoles y la segunda, mucho más modesta es el túnel que une la playa de la ciudad con la estación internacional de trenes. Este túnel es un gran lienzo de más de cien metros de largo, que los artistas callejeros de todo el mundo han utilizado para plasmar sus trabajos, algunos con mensaje político, otros transgresores y los que simplemente son expresión gráfica. El ambiente luminoso es un tanto lúgubre, pero se puede apreciar perfectamente la calidad de las obras, algunas de artistas de renombre aunque la mayoría son de grafiteros anónimos, que han dejado su impronta en un espacio único en su género, que deja a nadie indiferente.

El lugar merece una visita tranquila.
