context_page_description: The Pyrenees is a mountain range between Spain and France. Reaching a height of 3,404 metres altitude at the peak of Aneto, it extends for about 491 km from its union with Cantabrian Mountains to the Mediterranean Sea.
  For the most part, the main crest forms a divide between Spain and France, with the microstate of Andorra sandwiched in between. Historically, the Crown of Aragon and the Kingdom of Navarre extended on both sides of the mountain range.
context_section_description: The Spanish Pyrenees are part of the following provinces, from east to west: Gerona, Barcelona, Lérida (all in Catalonia), Huesca (in Aragon), Navarra (in Navarre) and Gipuzkoa (in the Basque Country).
  The French Pyrenees are part of the following départements, from east to west: Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Ariège, Haute-Garonne, Hautes-Pyrénées, and Pyrénées-Atlantiques (the latter two of which include the Pyrenees National Park).
  The independent principality of Andorra is sandwiched in the eastern portion of the mountain range between the Spanish Pyrenees and French Pyrenees.
