Departure from Port-Vendres (Pyrénées-Orientales)
A hike between land and water. From Cap Béar, the path leading to Port-Vendres offers a beautiful panoramic view of the port and the town. The trail then winds its way through vineyards and pine forests to Banyuls-sur-Mer. Next, the coastal path runs along the jagged coastline with its small sandy beaches and rocky coves called "calas" in Catalan. This hike reveals an extraordinary contrast between vineyard work and seaside activities.
⚠️ This is an exposed route, so it is best to avoid it in strong winds or high temperatures.

Departure from Banyuls-sur-Mer (Pyrénées-Orientales)
