On Sunday, we travelled 200 miles northwards from the Costa Daurada to France. We stopped overnight near Collioure at ‘Les Criques de Portails’. It’s an ACSI 17Euro site, on the cliffs to the north of the town which can be reached by a cliff-top walk.
The site had only opened the previous day and we didn’t expect it to be busy: perhaps a few French families. However, an organized touring party of about 50 Flemish caravanners and motohomers had arrived on day one! The only French we heard was when speaking to the ‘man on the buggy’ who helped us to our pick our pitch!
It’s a very good, well-managed site, which we’ve visited before. The wifi is free. The cliff walks require a fair degree of agility and are unsuitable for pushchairs. To the north of the site is Argelés and sandy beaches. Caravanners, having their cars, have the edge here over motorhomers, as the road past the site is really only suitable for serious cyclists.
Hope you like the photos!
