From the hamlet of Puig del Más, the proposed hike follows the yellow markings of the Walter Benjamin Trail.A pretty balcony path leads to the French-Spanish border.The return from the Tower of Querroig is via a ridge path. The view is magnificent.Two other hikes I have done to reach the Torre de Querroig: Coastal path - Torre de Querroig from Banyuls-sur-mer - La Torre de Querroig from Portbou, return via the Walter Benjamin Trail

This is a long hike with some elevation gain, but the scenery along the way is well worth the effort.The coastal path is absolutely beautiful. The hike is well marked, but the GPX track may be useful. I have classified it as difficult.
See practical information (¹).
Another of my hikes offers a shorter version: Torre de Querroig from Banyuls-sur-Mer.

Another way to climb to the Tour de Querroig.First, take the Sentier du Littoral coastal path to Cerbère. Then there is a steep climb to Coll de Belitres. Next, a pleasant little track leads to Coll de la Farella and another steep climb to Torre de Querroig.The descent to Coll de Cervera is steep, as is the rest of the route to Coll de Creu and Coll de Gran Bau.Given the steep paths involved, this hike can be considered difficult.
⚠️ Check whether the coastal path linking Argelès-sur-Mer to Cerbère is open or closed here before setting off on this hike.

It is at Cerbère that the Pyrenees plunge into the sea. Magnificent views of the Côte Vermeille and the Pyrenees mountain range, with Mont Canigou as a backdrop. Although this hike is of moderate difficulty, it requires good footwear and, in certain sections, you may need to use your hands.

First stage of this trek to Amélie-les-Bains. A big day awaits you, but you'll be rewarded with spectacular views. Thefirst morning is physically demanding, especially if it's hot in summer. You'll climb 1,000 metres in one go. The rest of the day is more relaxed, as you'll be on the ridge.

A wild, rocky coastline, small forgotten coves, terraced vineyards that seem to hang above the waves: this is what you can expect on this hike, dotted with maritime pines and prickly pears. Along the way, the beautifully restored, history-steeped site of Paulilles and various beaches inviting you to take a dip add to the pleasure of this walk in the soft light of the Côte Vermeille.
