Travels in the Pyrenees : including Andorra and the coast from Barcelona to Carcassonne. st set, was Urgell, theprincely city whence I had come; on the south the land ofBaga, where RipoU shelters, and the rivers run down toBarcelona by the sea ; and on the north the cold heights ofAndorra, misty and violet in the morning light.
