Banyuls-sur-Mer & the Côte Vermeille
A seaside village on the Vermilion Coast, where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean. Vineyards drop down to the water, and the Spanish border is just around the headland.
The beaches
A gentle bay in the centre and quieter pebble coves along the coast path.
Banyuls wine
Terraced vineyards and cellars a short walk from town for tastings.
Hiking
The GR10 and coastal trails start nearby, with views over the whole coast.
Collioure
The painters' town of Collioure is a few minutes up the coast.
