1. Sip a glass of rosé on the terrace

The south is good living, and local cuisine is a perfect example: around a plate of fish and seafood (mussels, octopus, tuna, anchovies, etc.), raw ham, hot salad and goat cheese or "pà amb tomato", the IGP Côte-Vermeille offers a thirst-quenching range ranging from white to red. Affordable holiday lettings in Port Vendres to rent allow visitors to savour this Mediterranean feast while immersing themselves in the region's rich culture and natural beauty.

2. Admire the regattas

More than a fishing port, it is also a marina where modern sailboats and old rigging (we could see the Hermione) are gathered, after having passed the fire of the pier and the Redoubt of the Fanal, built in the 18th century to protect this strategic place for the navy.

3. Visit the forts of the Moorsque and Béar and the Museum of Maritime Archaeology

History has its rightful place in this modest little town: Phoenician trading post, Greek presence, trade with Rome (coins and amphora cargoes were found there), port of embarkation of French troops for the American War of Independence, reception of Spanish refugees in 1939.

4. Take an interest in local art

Art is not to be outdone: on the film side, several shows have been shot in the region, including the Tramontane series in 1999 on TF1. If you prefer the visual arts, you should go to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Interpretation Centre, one of the Four at the Glasgow School.

5. Participate in the Catalan festival

If, like all Roussillon, Port-Vendres was attached to France under Louis XIV, its inhabitants remain Catalan at the bottom of their hearts and show it with pride at the end of July, dancing and parading in bright colours to the sound of traditional music.
