Port-Vendres
Port-Vendres / Portvendres
A deep-water fishing port next to Collioure, with colorful fishing boats, seafood restaurants and a 19th-century obelisk, and fewer tourists than Collioure.
Port-Vendres has been a natural deep-water harbor since ancient Greek times. Today it remains a lively fishing port and cruise terminal, where you can eat fresh seafood at restaurants by the harbor and watch the fishing boats unload their catch. On one side of the harbor stand a Louis XVI obelisk and Vauban-era fortifications, and to the east, a walk leads to the Cap Béar lighthouse. It is about 3 km from Collioure and can be reached by coastal path or by train.
