Location
Between the sea and the mountains, in the very south of France, just a few kilometres from Spain. Northern Catalonia is a very special region, an interesting and charming blend of both cultures.
The highlights: For art lovers, there is the beautiful Collioure, which has just been voted one of the most beautiful villages in France, or the charming Céret (25 minutes). Picasso and co were guests in both villages and have left their traces and works of art. There are also a number of charming villages (Eus, Elne, Castelnou), as well as the capital of the department, Perpignan, which was once the capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca.
On the Spanish side, Figueres, Cadaques (the latter two being the home of Salvador Dalì), Girona, Empuries and the entire Costa Brava - there is so much to discover!
The Tour de France passed through here in 2021 - a paradise for cyclists.
In winter, the ski slopes are only 1.5 hours away.
