Münzer's Account:
1494:"The 19th of September, leaving Perpignan, after traveling three leagues along the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, we arrived at a castle that has the name of Le Boulou, and through the mountain defile that is called El Port, or the mountain pass, penetrating by a very rough, nearly impassable and abrupt path, and passing on the right La Guardia, a handsome fortress on a very high peak, having passed all these mountains, we penetrated into Catalonia, by the castles of La Junquera and of Figueres."
