ABOUT THE REGION

Argeles-Sur-Mer is situated on the Mediterranean just 40 minutes drive South of Perpignan and 40 min North of Spain.

This region boasts approximately 300 days of sunshine each year. The Pyrenees and the revered Mount Canigou tower as a backdrop to the resort’s sandy beaches. Less than one and a half hours drive takes you up to the ski resort of Les Angles.  Every form of water sport is to be found here. Argeles has a magnificent port and is magical at night for al fresco eating or just watching the world go by!

If you prefer a more active life-style drive up into the foothills of the Pyrenees for rambling, para-gliding, horse riding etc. There is an excellent golf course at St Cyprien less than 15 minutes drive away.

The area has a strong Catalan influence. From June to September Argeles has abundant street markets with local craftsmen selling their wares, bric a brac stalls, disco and ballroom dancing and shows of Catalan street dancing in the evenings. Many French locals do their weekly shopping on the Spanish border at Perthus or Jonquera to take advantage of the low prices of many goods including alcohol and cigarettes. On the promenade there is a small funfair, several children’s play areas and a casino. There are numerous ‘eateries’ from pizzerias to gourmet restaurants and seafood specialities.

Visit the famous Salvador Dali museum at Figueres- less than an hour’s drive.

There are several spa villages in the area where people come from all over the world to take ‘la cure’ from the relaxing waters of the thermal baths, supposedly good for skin complaints and aches and pains. .
