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.
