Cerdanya (Latin: Ceritania; French: Cerdagne; Spanish: Cerdaña) is a small region of the eastern Pyrenees divided between France and Spain and which is historically one of the counties of Catalonia.
Cerdanya has a land area of 1,086.07 km² (419.33 sq. miles), 50.3% being Spanish territory, 49.7% being French territory. In 2001 the population of Cerdanya was approximately 26,500 inhabitants (53.4% on Spanish territory, 46.6% on French territory), which means a density of only 24 residents per km² (63 per sq. mile), one of the lowest densities in western Europe. The only urban area in Cerdanya is the cross-border urban area of Puigcerdà-Bourg-Madame: 10,900 inhabitants in 2001 (41% of the whole population of Cerdanya).
The area enjoys a high annual quota of sunshine - around 3000 hours per year. For this reason, pioneering large-scale solar power projects were built in French Cerdagne.
