Nearby sports facilities: In Serralongue there is a Tennis Court. Horse riding is also available.
Within easy distance there are further horse riding establishments, fishing, international standard golf in a stunning location at 3500 feet altitude (Domaine de Falgos), public swimming pools at both Prats-de-Mollo and St Laurent de Cerdans (open in July and August) and of course walking and cycling all around.
Within the Pyrenees Orientales there is everything you could possibly want - skiing, both Alpine and cross-country, swimming, microlight flying, go-carting, climbing, fishing - under a glorious southern sun (300 days per year, according to official records).
Shopping, eating, etc: Serralongue has a bar/restaurant where you can buy bread and the local papers. There is also an artisan charcuterie/general store (which stocks most of the staples, as well as a limited selection of vegetables) and a post office.
Prats de Mollo, a lovely walled town with shops (including a small supermarket), bars, restaurants and hotels, is about 15 minutes drive, away. As is St Laurent de Cerdans, with its mill/factory making and selling the local Catalan cloth, which also has shops (and a small supermarket), bars and restaurants.
Throughout the Pyrenees Orientales there are wonderful food and wines - this is one of the largest areas of wine production in France - in reasonably priced restaurants, many offering freshly caught fish straight out of the Mediterranean.
General: The Pyrenees-Orientales is in the far south of France, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains. Here people remain proud of their traditions, still speaking Catalan, the language of both the tiny independent state of Andorra and northern Spain, their neighbours.
Admire the beautiful scenery ranging from high snow-capped peaks to miles of safe, sandy beaches - as well as valleys, lakes, rolling hills and rocky coves. Enjoy the local festivals - the 'blessing of the mules' in Serralongue in June; and join in the traditional Sardana dancing.
