Banyuls-sur-Mer
BANYULS SUR MER , Pyrénées-Orientales – Point of interest
About
At the foot of Albères, terraced vineyards plunge into the Mediterranean.
A village, a beach and a port hidden away in a fold of the Pyrenees, that’s what you will find at the foot of Cap Béar. Banyuls-sur-Mer is the last stop before Spain and is surrounded by quays that run alongside the Allées Maillol, where artists have set up their studios.
Explore the picturesque little stepped side streets and, when evening comes, with the music of the Sardana as a background, you can enjoy a Banyuls, the wonderful aperitif that takes its name from the wine produced here.
Old farmhouses, Catalan fishing-boats, vines that tumble down towards the sea, silver-leaved olive trees : this is a place where traditions have been preserved intact, a place where time stands still… So, hoist the flag ad drop the anchor in Banyuls, where the motto is “In mare via tua”! (Your road lies upon the sea).
