My parents have been spending about half the year near Girona in Catalonia for close to two decades now. Since I've been able to hire cars, when I do manage to pop out to visit them I've always spent at least a couple of days heading up in to the Pyrenees to try and spot some Calotriton asper and never succeeded.
This year, I'm taking the game a bit more seriously and have hired a campervan to spend a whole week up in the mountains and aside from a few side quests for some birds, those elusive Pyrenean newts are my main goal.
Unfortunately I couldn't get there as early as I'd have liked, so we'll be in the mountains for the second week of June.
If anyone has any hints, tips, or even rough ideas of locations, I'd be extremely grateful. Previously I've searched streams above and below the treeline, torchlight at night and a bit of rock turning by day, mostly in the eastern Pyrenees, north of Berga, Ripoll & Olot - this time I have longer so can go further west.
Thanks very much in advance.
