Only 13 kilometres away from the Spanish border, this walled town is a delight of narrow cobbled streets and ancient mediaeval architecture….
Swirling and eddying, forming delightful rockpools, it is a perfect picnic spot.
Along the coast between Canet en Roussillon and Saint Cyprien, you will find the best walking, and picturesque fishermen’s “village” with ancient huts that have been refurbished with traditional materials, including reeds that are abundant here.
Think Argelès, think Saint Cyprien, think Canet…..and we immediately think beach and port. But what about the villages?
Not a drive for the faint hearted, or the easily travel sick, but for lovers of wild and remote country, it is a joy!
Head out for the day to the beautiful and historic town of Palau del Vidre- bursting with history, glass blowing, good food and friendly people
Head out for the day to the beautiful and historic town of Elne- bursting with history, charm, art, good food and friendly people
Summer is well and truly here and if you’re finding the heat too much, why not celebrate her arrival in higher altitudes and picnic on the slopes of a conjuratory?
Where the Pyrenees slip down into the Mediterranean sea, where the vineyards come to the edge of the town, you will find Collioure.
This is one of our favourite circuits that we have done fairly regularly in the last few years. Recently there have been extensions and improvements to the EV8 cycle path which passes by Sorède, so we decided to try them out.
