Tor facade
I haven’t counted the houses in that small village of Tor in the midst of the climb from Alins to the Port de Cabùs. There weren’t many. Tor is only reachable via a narrow and steep road through the Valle Tor which changes to unpaved already a bit before reaching the village. I knew a few hints of a somewhat sinister background revolving around the village, former smuggler activity and planned ski areas. These are portrayed in the Book from Carles Porta i Gaset with the title „Tretze cases i tres morts“, which is also available in German translation as „Tor. Das verfluchte Dorf“ (Tor. The cursed village.“ Never read it, though. On this sunny day it doesn’t looked very cursed. But this task might have been taken over by not few of the TPR riders trying to ride or rather hike-a-bike the very technical and steep gravel from Tor on upwards to the summit of the Port de Cabús and the Andorran border.
