A walk between land and sea. From Cap Béar, the path leading to Port-Vendres offers a beautiful panoramic view of the harbour and the town. The route then winds its way through vineyards and pine forests to Banyuls-sur-Mer. From there, the coastal path follows the rugged coastline with its small sandy beaches and rocky coves known as ‘calas’ in Catalan. This walk reveals a striking contrast, combining an insight into vineyard work with seaside resort life.
⚠️ This is an open-air route, so in the event of strong winds or intense heat, it is best to avoid it.
⚠️ Check whether the coastal path linking Argelès-sur-Mer to Cerbère is open or closed here before setting off on this walk.
