Today we took a day trip across to Perpignan and down the Mediterranean coast to Collioure, not far north of the border with Spain. This was our first trip to the Mediterranean this holiday and it was a great day for it. The water was sparkling, and after the industrial stretch of the main road south of Perpignan, Collioure appeared like a jewel with its multi-hued houses tumbling down the hillsides around several sheltered coves.
