    The final week begins at the high-mountain lakes of Capcir and in the Spanish enclave of Llívia, which has been located in the heart of France since 1660. The cogwheel railway takes you to the Núria Valley, followed by the monastery of Ripoll—the cradle of Catalan identity with its famous Romanesque portal. The route returns to France via the Col d’Ares, passing through Prats-de-Mollo and Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans, a land of exile and espadrilles.

    In Conflent, the Benedictine monasteries of Saint-Martin du Canigou and Saint-Michel de Cuxa await you at the foot of the Catalans’ holy mountain. The route leads down to Perpignan, home to the Palais des Rois de Majorque, and to Collioure with its Château Royal. Traveling along the Côte Vermeille through the vineyards of Banyuls, you’ll reach Sant Pere de Rodes, Cadaqués, and the ruins of Empúries—before the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres brings the journey to a close.
