Where the Pyrénnées tumble to the coast they leave a dramatic coastline of rugged cliffs, medieval hilltop villages, terraced vineyards & olive groves, and sleepy fishing ports. Interspersed are small sandy coves, pine-clad and herb-scented hills - the real Costa Brava, away from the tourist beaches. This picturesque mix is stunning walking country, with the moderating Côte Vermeille giving a perfect temperature for an out of season visit.
