Only twenty minutes south (by car) are the seaside towns running into Spain. The drive along the twisting coastal road features absolutely stunning views. Argelès-sur-mer is an attractive and lively old seaside town with long stretches of sandy beaches. Collioure is one of the best kept secrets of the coast where the Pyrenees tumble into the sea, creating a series of beautiful bays and rocky headlands which gives this stretch of coast its unique character.

The more adventurous looking for a lively day out can reach Barcelona in just under two hours. A lunchtime stroll along 'Las Ramblas' is an experience not to be missed. For the serious shoppers there is always Perpignan, a large vibrant Catalan city.

The house available for summer rental is situated in it's own decked Mediterranean style courtyard with jacuzzi/plunge-pool. It is set back from the village street behind our family home.
