*** Collioure is set in the area of Roussillon where the Catalan heritage comes racing to the fore - from the road signs and the dancing, to the bull fights and the paella. French Catalonia has a strong separate identity with its own language and national colours of red and yellow, but has never expressed great desire to leave France 
 
Collioure is a delight - the “jewel of the Côte Vermeille”. Sheltering under the hilltop château royal, the pink and russet houses of the old town are grouped around the small bay, filled with small, colourful fishing boats and visiting yachts. It comes as no surprise that it was a favourite with Matisse and Derain, and was often visited by Picasso. Aspiring artists still flock here every year.  
 
The old lighthouse at the entrance to the port is now the bell tower of the church Notre Dame des Anges. The sacristy contains the church’s treasure, including 15th century paintings and a 16th century processional cross.  
 
The old village, overlooking the tiny beaches of St Vincent and Plage du Nord, was originally Spanish and now full of restaurants and bars The local speciality is anchovies – they are caught in their thousands, bottled in brine or used to stuff green olives.
