Vermillion coast

Vermillion coast

The Vermillion Coast is the eastern part of the Pyrenees mountains range. The mountain hurls down into the Mediterranean sea giving the coast a jagged edge. The sheer waters flow into inlets and small, charming ports, among which are Collioure, Port Vendres, Banyuls and Cerbère. The surrounding lands are rich in the wine-growing tradition, where the vineyards grow on small terraces enclosed by low sitting stone walls. The mountainous hinterland grows wild and almost inaccessible with Mediterranean vegetation smelling of thyme, lavender and rosemary. The Vermilion coast offers sun, sea, mountains, and the fragrances of the Midi. It is indeed heaven on earth!
