Céret, a historic market town nestled between the Pyreenees Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea (1/2 hour) lays claim to clear blue skies and sunshine for some 300 days a year. The superb light of early summer has attracted artists who spent time painting and enjoying outdoor café life in its tree lined streets for decades, including Picasso, whose work is exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art. The region offers a variety of activities within its nearby mountains, lakes, rivers and gorges and sandy golden beaches. It is a paradise those seeking either an activity filled or relaxing holiday. Numerous shaded mountain trails are accessible from within the town centre. Explore the many ancient Cathar castles, churches and quaint Catalan villages. Indulge in other activities such as cycling, mountain biking, windsurfing, golf, scuba diving, horse riding, skiing (90 minutes) bird watching, photography, painting or tours of famous Roussillon vineyards.
