A short walk from the site is a convenient farm shop that sells wine and sangria from the barrel and a huge selection of local fruit and vegetables. The main supermarkets and the town are around 1 to 2 miles away.
In season ‘Le petit’ train calls regularly at the site which can take you into the main Argeles resort and Port or the ville for markets, shops and many restaurants. From the Port take the ferry to the picturesque town of Collioure. A days drive will take you way up into the beautiful mountain scenery. Stop at Ceret for coffee before continuing on to Prat-de-Mollo for lunch.
Pop over to Spain to Figueres and visit the Salvador Dali Museum, and shop for good value leather goods. Further south is Girona where you can walk the ancient city walls.
Perpignan is worth a visit for its historic interest as is Elne with its cloistered abbey.
June and September are particularly quiet and beautiful in this area the weather being warm enough to relax or swim on the beach.
