We love the ease of visiting both Spain and France with all the lovely resorts along the Costa Brava perfect for a day visit - Portbou, Calella, Llanca, Estarit, Palomas, Cadaques, Roses, Empuriabrava, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar.
You can also enjoy all the French resorts along the coast Banyuls with its numerous restaurants and bars, Portes Vendres with its busy harbour, Collioure - without a doubt spectacular, Argeles sur Mer for its lively shops and activities and vast sandy beach and beautiful port. The local transport, both bus and train are very reliable and reasonable so you don't have to take the car if you don't want to.
The local walking is amazing with coastal paths going from the village right the way through to Argeles sur Mer in one direction and from Cerbere through Portbou and onwards in the other direction. To the rear of the property is a beautiful vineyard walk through the mountains behind the villa.
For keen cyclists the routes are undoubtedly challenging with the Trans Pyrennean Route from Biarritz ending in Cerbere! There are always lots of enthusiastic cyclists in the area.
There are two diving schools in the village for people of all capabilities and the entire coast line is a national heritage reserve so the diving is spectacular.
