Roussillon wines abound, a good Rivesaltes or Muscat makes a marvellous aperitif, whereas Spanish Cava or the sparkling Blanquette and Cremant de Limoux provide alternative. Andorra is possible for a day. There is a winding footpath up through the Ermitage de St. Ferreol which provides an extensive view of the Mediterranean coastline. With its surrounding grounds it is a place of quiet solitude and serenity. The chapel itself is open to the public most afternoons.
Mountain bikes are available for hire.
It is possible to drive within 3000ft of Canigou's summit and then walk to the peak. There are other outdoor pursuits available in the area. Kayaking, canoeing, horse-riding, trekking, sailing,fishing,golf,windsurfing, diving and swimming. In Spain the trio of Dali museums at Figueres, Port Ligat, and Pubol are memorable and provocative whilst medieval Girona is a revelation, trendy Barcelona with its Gaudi architecture and Rambla is exciting and the Northern Costa Brava a surprisingly different scenic drive to those who imagine it to be full of lager louts and high rise concrete blocks. Further afield the ancient cities of Perpignan, Carcassonne, Narbonne, Beziers and Montpellier are within easy driving distance.
