今来たばかりの断崖絶壁の眺め。

Anyone familiar with oysters knows that they can have very different flavors, depending not only on the subspecies but also on their origin. The Pacific rock oyster, which is the most common in Europe after the European oyster largely became extinct, tastes different on the French Atlantic coast, for example, than in Ireland or Scotland. Oysters from the European Atlantic share a relatively high salt and mineral content. Oysters from the Mediterranean, on the other hand, are somewhat milder and have a spicy aftertaste, similar to the "Blue Point" oyster from the US East Coast. The restaurant is irrelevant; it's all about the oyster itself, and of course, the price, which is outrageously high in Germany, for example. Personally, I prefer Breton and Norman oysters because they are distinctive and meaty.

Warning: some technical sections

The ride is mostly on cycling paths with nice views and beautiful sceneries. The destination is unique and the many oyster shacks will serve oysters and other shell fish fresh from the catch and raw. Keep in mind that they don't serve anything else. With your meal you can get water, soft drinks or wine. The prices are very reasonable. We chose to go back along the litoral 8 via Toreilles Plage, which makes other a sixty plus km ride. Well worth it. Tip: check the weather as it can be very windy in this area. We had a 35km head wind going, but that was in our favour on the return.

We cross a bridge, with a slightly elevated view and a beautiful view of the village and the sea (but we are at the edge of a busy road, so it is pretty but we do not take a long break there)

It was built between 1497 and 1502 in the Principality of Catalonia by the Catalan King Ferdinand II of Aragon. The fortress guarded the Catalan side of the border with France. France conquered this fortress in 1642. After the Treaty of the Pyrenees, the fortress became part of France.

A very quiet and easy cycle path along the Agly.
