The Spanish army suffered 2,000 killed and wounded. An additional 1,500 soldiers, 140 guns, and all of the army trains and baggage fell into French hands. French losses are given as 20 killed and 300 wounded. Historian Digby Smith states. "The Spanish army never recovered from this setback." By forcing his adversaries to retreat by way of the Col du Porteille, Dugommier compelled the Spanish to assume a defensive position south of the crest of the Pyrenees in the Alt Emporda. The only remaining Spanish holdings on French soil were Collioure, Port-Vendres, and Bellegarde. The French captured the first two at the end of May, while Bellegarde held out until 17 September 1794.
