the
world, according to the Catalan artist Salvador DALI. The town centre
is full of centuries of history; one example is the CASTILLET, ancient
fortress and prison, another is the PALAIS DES ROIS DE MAJORQUE (the
palace of the Majorcan kings) which is evidence of prosperous
|
times.
If you take the road out of town towards ARGELÈS SUR MER, you can turn off towards VILLENEUVE DE LA RAHO, where there is a lake with several leisure activities which may convince you to stop. The ROUSSILLON plain is enclosed between the Albères and Corbières mountains. |
