Ceret is an area of natural beauty - a cherry town producing the very first fruits of the year. The first crop is delivered to the president each year. The tiled and painted façades and loggias of the buildings have a Spanish feel and the town was popular with Picasso, Brague and Matisse. Today, as a result Ceret is distinguished by the Musée d'Art Modern,it's sophisticated modern architecture housing a remarkable collection which includes Catalan artists Tapiés and Capdeville, a series of bowls by Picasso painted with bullfighting scenes and works by Matisse, Chagall, Juan Gris and Salvador Dali. The towns Catalan heritage is evident in it's bullfights and in it's Sardana dance festival at the end of August.Just a stones throw the border in Spain are the equally artistic towns of Figueres which houses the Dali museum and Girona with it's magnificent architecture. The mountains can be explored on organised walking/trekking tours by an experienced guide.
