Geography
Location
Arles-sur-Tech is located in the canton of Le Canigou and in the arrondissement of Céret.[1]
Arles-sur-Tech is situated in the southernmost valley in mainland France before Spain, the Vallespir, through which the Шаблон:Convert long river "Tech" flows. This small town is surrounded by the eastern Pyrenees which dominate the skyline around Arles-sur-Tech. The town sits on the only main road which passes through the valley, the D 115, making it accessible from Spain in the west and the plane of Roussillon and Perpignan in the east. It is located close to the larger and more well-known spa town of Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda.
History
At the end of the Spanish Civil War Arles-sur-Tech was the site of a camp housing Republican escapees from Spain. It was used as an initial sorting camp.[2]
