Tourist attractions Collioure

This stretch of of coastline was christened “Côte Vermeille” (the Ruby Coast) in the 19C, on account of the rose-red colour its rocks take on around dusk. This is a craggy shoreline battered by the waves, with fishing ports and marinas tucked away in..

When the road reaches the highest point, park your car and walk a few paces towards the edge for a sweeping view which extends beyond the Languedoc and Catalonia coasts as far as the Cabo de Creus.

The sea port of Llançà surrounds a small bay protected from the waves and storms. The area was once occupied by fishermen's huts and is today a place of residence and holidaymaking.

Built in the 18C and situated at the centre of Llançà, the church has a single aisle and is preceded by a fine stone perron. The monumental façade has a neo-classical portal and an abundant decoration of reliefs.

The immense plane tree in the centre is called the Tree of Liberty . Here you can also see the ruins of the belltower of the 13C early Romanesque church and the Torre del homenatge , which was part of the old castle palace (13C and 14C).
