Collioure is the most picturesque, ancient coastal town right on the water's edge. Beloved by kings, worshipped by artists and popular summer and winter with the impressive fortress as a solid immortal center. In the past an important strong- hold against enemies from the sea, now the meter thick stonewalls house exhibitions and serve as a museum.
Collioure personifies everything expected from a Mediterranean coastal town - out-door cafés, restaurants, hotels, ancient architecture beaches, colourful fishing boats (the coast is well known for their anchovies, which is an important Catalan dish with red peppers), small shops, music, painters, exotic scents - in short.
Quiet beach in the middle of Collioure. The small streets behind this scene are crowded with people in summertime but still agreeable to walk in... Lots and lots of art-shops, galleries and souvenir-shops.
Well-known for its Museum of Modern Art, the summerfestivals and in June a display of fireworks...
Always something do see or do !
- Pros:Pitoresque town... on a relaxing beach
- Cons:Just for one day...is enough
- In a nutshell:If you are in the neighborhood, don't forget to stop here...
