Welcome to the Pyrénées-Orientales country
A land of wines, tastes and inspiration...
Wines of good character: Côtes du Roussillon red, white or rosé wines,
Naturally sweet wines, kings of festive tables: Muscats de Rivesaltes, Banyuls or Maury wines,
Iron for the blacksmiths,
Garnets for the jewellers…
Mother nature has been generous to the Catalans.
Whether it is someone blowing glass, rolling out the pastry to make bunyetes, weaving the gaily coloured material used for tablecloths for feast days or making the vigatane shoes to dance the sardane, or whether cooking the boles de picolat or rabbit with snails...you will find the Catalan character that asserts itself at each gesture!
Here, gastronomy, vine-growing and craft industry make our territory a land of exceptions.
