Perpignan

[Rose]

Thinking caps needed again please.

We're driving down to Perpignan on Friday for a week. I'm keen to nip across the border to Spain for one day and to spend a day beside the med on another ... but where else would you recommed we visit? 

Also, does anyone have any campervan stops that they would recommend?

thanks in advance for any ideas :) xx

In Spain via the coastal road - Cadaques. In France it's got to be Collioure.

I agree with Brian. Hug the coast from portbou to cadaques, dont forget portlligat and Dali's house; then to Rosas continue via La escala to Estartit. Back to toroella de montgri turn south towards Pals pretty village on hill; continue to Bagur and follow hair pins to agua freda lunch at hotel high on cliffs; back to bagur and south to palafrugell with visit to calas at agua blava and tamariu; south again towards palamos and san feliu de guixols afternoon tea; back to P via girona and figueras.

EDIT: The Hotel Cap San Sal I discover is no longer, converted into a hideous appartment complex.

Whatever you do, don't miss Collioure, or Port Vendre. Collioure is worth a days visit to see most of it, but it is very busy in the summer. PV on the other hand is still a working port village with much fewer tourists.

If you are going in the campervan then send me a PM and I'll give you a great place to stop. Beware that crossing the border into Spain takes you into coastal towns and villages where they don't want campers in the town at all!

I did this tour in the camper last September, from near Perigueux, and had a fantastic time.
