The Sea
A short 28 km from the house lies the sparkling Mediterranean with it's wonderful, wide sandy beaches. For an active nightlife drive either to Argelès-sur-Mer or Sct. Cyprien. If peace and quiet appeals then try the beach approximately halfway between the two towns. There are detailed maps available in the house. Try a family outing to "Aqualand" near the beach where children can use their energy on the waterslides and in the pools while you can laze in the sun for a day.
Historically speaking
The area bears evidence of being a part of Catalonia until the middle of the seventeenth century. There are the middleages towns of Villefranche, Prats de Mollo to be seen, with churches and monasteries, (Saint Martin du Canigou being just one of them ), roman aquaducts and stoneage caves. The remains of Europe's most ancient inhabitants were found in this area, (Tautavel-museum). On the border to Aude-departementet lie a row of Kathar castles, with the most attractive being Queribus. |
