Finally when the deaths started building there wasn't enough space for burial and bodies could be left around become fetid and surrounded by fleas (which pass on the disease)

It also did not get into the Pyrenees much. I have read that there were a number of towns where the Black Death did not hit in other places, including a large walled town in England where the gates were closed and the drawbridge raised, with the town treating the situation as though they were under siege.
