If almost everyone has focused on the sea this summer, the well-known French newspaper Le Figaro has done the opposite by looking out at the Albanian mountains.
A lengthy report on the northern Alps of the country is said to have been turned into an El Dorado for foreign holidaymakers who have a passion for hiking or mountain walks.
The paper underlines that mountain trails allow you to explore magnificent landscapes that had remained isolated for decades, until the fall of the communist regime.
It singles out the national parks of Valbona and Theth that are already being enjoyed by tourists, not only from Europe, but also from the United States and as far as India.
"Le Figaro" invites readers to enjoy this miracle of nature as soon as possible, which according to it has not yet been affected by mass tourism and the hand of man.
"Le Figaro" distinguishes the "Mountain of Namuna" and the legends that continue to be told. There is no shortage of comparisons of natural landscape with the works of Ismail Kadare.
The French newspaper points out that Albania is an ideal holiday destination with small budgets and moreover has a special culinary.
