D 1
Day 1 – Arrival at COLLIOURE
Collioure is one of the most beautiful small ports of the Mediterranean and charmed many artists attracted by this Catalan light and this bright sun. Collioure, village of art and gastronomically place with its famous anchovies but also historical village with its many monuments which remember to us his glorious past: the belfry of its old fortified church, the ancient château that separates its two small ports… Lodging and breakfast in a 3 star hotel
D 2
Day 2 – COLLIOURE – PORT VENDRES (3 hour walk –altitude gain: 350 meters)
You will leave the village through vineyards. Route des Vignes You are in uncommon vineyards where Banyuls and Collioure AOC wines are produced. The steep slopes, on which the vine stocks are planted, prevent any mechanization and all the vine work from the pruning to the grape harvest, are hand-made. Passed the Collar Mollo, you will discover Dugommier and St Elme forts, built in 16th century by Charles Quint (Emperor of Spain) to defend the Coast. Then you will go down to Port Vendres which name comes from the presence of a temple dedicated to Venus which dominated the creek. Today, Port Vendres offers a coloured, typically Mediterranean picture and has kept an important port activity (fishing, trade and yachting) – Dinner, Lodging and breakfast in a 3-star hotel
D 3
Day 3 – PORT VENDRES- BANYULS (3.30 hour walk)
You will follow the Tamarins beach out of the port and will walk to the Fort Mailly and to the end of the jetty by the Feu du Môle to get a gorgeous view of the Port Vendres bay. You will come back towards the city to visit the Redoute Bear, a fortification that defended the harbour some centuries ago and continue to the Bear lighthouse, which sits 80 meters above the sea.

D 4
Day 4 – CERBERE – BANYULS (5 and a half hour walk – altitude gain: 670 meters)
Escort by taxi to Cerbère. After having crossed through this very typical Catalan village (the last town in France before crossing the Spanish border and an important stop on the international railway line Paris – Barcelona), you will enter into the first hinterlands of the Pyrenees. The road takes you on a winding journey through the vineyards, giving you a view of the Pyrenees – still snow-capped in mid-May – and the Mediterranean Sea. You will reach the first pass (col de la Fareille – 309 meters) and then continue the steep climb to the ruins of La Tour de Querroig. This tower was built in the 10th century by Spanish monks to keep watch over their properties. From here you will have a magnificent view of Cerbère, the Catalan coast, and the Pyrenees massif. You will follow the ridge that leads to Le Puig Joan, pass by the Tour d’En Pagès, and head down towards Banyuls. Dinner, lodging and breakfast in the same hotel

Day 5 – BANYULS – COLLIOURE (5 hour walk – ascent : 400 meters)

You will leave the city by way of Mas d’En Reig (the first place inhabited in Banyuls, around the 12th century) and make your way through the pine forest to the Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette chapel which overlooks Banyuls. You will continue to the Col des Gascons, which sits in the shadows of the Tour de la Madeloc, follow the road past the old military forts and barracks that sprinkle the landscape, and look out over the Catalan coast. You will return to Collioure by passing through the Fort Saint Elme (a beautifully restored oil mill) and the Pams gardens. In Collioure you might visit the museum, the curious construction “la Gloriette”, the château de Collioure, constructed on an ancient roman camp, and the harbour – Lodging and breakfast in a 3-star hotel
D 6
Day 6 – TOUR OF THE MASSIF DE LA MADELOC (6 hour walk – ascent : 650 meters)

Following a steep, rocky path, you will climb towards Taillefer battery, down again to the Col de Taillefer, and then start another steep ascent to the Tour de la Madeloc that sits at 650 meters above the sea. This tower was built in 1285 as a lookout and signal tower. All along this pathway, take note of the splendid views of Collioure, the Catalan coast, the Tour de la Massane and the Pyrenees. You will descend again, passing by the 500 Battery and the Col des Gascons, the ruins of the Reig wine cellars and the Col de Formigo, to reach the Col de la Baillaury. Follow the path that runs along the aqueduct and skirts the Madeloc massif until you arrive at the Col de Serre.
