Super pretty village

Goal achieved! And what a milestone! The Vermillion Coast is magnificent, and this cape is its final point. Spain is right there, next door, a pass to go for a drink in Portbou or return to beautiful Cerbère? Cerbère is my preference, where I recommend the inland walk.

very pretty views but be careful: unpaved track

New port development at Cerbère

Cross-border crossing between the two states that divided Catalonia after signing the Treaty of the Pyrenees on November 7, 1659. It is part of the Walter Benjamin Route, in total it is approximately 15 km (we know that Benjamin spent a night in the middle of the road) that can be done in one direction for about 5 or 6 hours to return by train from Banyuls to in Portbou. The route, which is signposted, is relatively easy and also coincides with an old smugglers' trail and with the so-called Lister Route, since it was here where the Republican general retreated with his troops in 1939, after of the defeat against the Francoist side.

Peak that is part of the FEEC list of 100 peaks where two states and three municipalities meet, Portbou, Cervera de la Marenda and Banyuls de la Marenda. From this point you get wonderful views of the Mediterranean to the east and the Albera mountains to the west, in a magnificent 360º panorama that includes Puig de Sallafort, Puig Neulós and Cap de Creus. At the top we find the ruins of an old medieval castle from the s. X-XI. The round tower is a later construction of the s. XIV or s. XV Until the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) when the current northern Catalan counties came under French jurisdiction, the castle depended ecclesiastically on the Count of Empúries and the Bishopric of Girona. The construction technique, like the material, is reminiscent of the castle of Sant Salvador Saverdera, near Sant Pere de Rodes, a peak also included in the list of the 100 Peaks. Salvem Querroig is a northern Catalan association that aims to restore the remains of the castle. For this reason, he had to contact the heir of the last known owner, Ponç Hug, Count of Empúries (1309). The current owner turned out to be Sol María de la Blanca de Medina i Orléans-Braganza, countess of Empúries, of the Ducal House of Medinaceli, based in Seville, and who has granted her permission for the works.

Cerbère is the seaside resort with the southernmost port of mainland France. Located at the gates of Spain, this emblematic place of passage offers a beautiful and large beach as well as a pleasant historic city center.

This Wagon describes the history and role of the Cerbère railway station, in the transshipment of goods, especially citrus, between the French and Spanish railways due to the difference in the width of the tracks. The work of women, known as "transbordeuses d'oranges", who loaded and unloaded citrus fruits by hand under difficult conditions, including the use of candles for lighting before electricity, stands out. The station played a key role in the economy and daily life of Cerbère until the 1970s. Don't miss the free mobile library
