Walk Les Balcons de Laroque, a 3hrs- 3hrs.30 circular walk up the hills with 450 metres of ascent, which is all in the first half of the walk. Well signed route with yellow waymarks.
St Ferréol hermitage where the view changes around every corner of its tree-filled grounds.
The beach is always a pleasure in the P-O – but sometimes it’s refreshing to leave the coast behind and head inland to visit some of the many lakes of the region. Here are just a few…..
A 2 hour straightforward walk over the hills from Le Perthus, with lots of historical interest. Some footpaths and a lot of forest road. One for a day when you fancy a nice walk but not a big climb!
Les Lacs de Camporells from Formiguères. Popular walk from Ski Station above Formiguères
Les Crêtes de Serrabona: an invigorating 4 ½ hour circular walk with 680m of ascent. The walk offers wonderful views and some interesting historical/archaeological features
Not a drive for the faint hearted, or the easily travel sick, but for lovers of wild and remote country, it is a joy!
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.
Cycle the region with Leigh and Merry Foster as they travel along the EV8 from Argelès sur Mer to Laroque des Albères
Merry, Leigh and the three (Cap) Béars: You can do the whole thing in one go (8km, allow 3-4 hours, about 500m ascent/descent), but we found there’s so much beautiful scenery to see on each section we were happy to spread it over a few days.
