Mas Pallares is located in Reynes, a lovely, sparsely populated hillside township, stretching from the Tech River to steep Pyrenees foothills. Five minutes away is the popular town of Ceret (“cherries” in Catalan), also known as Ville d’Art. It was a favorite of Picasso in the 19th Century whose presence and work there drew many other painters including Brach, Chagall, Masson, and Dali, all of whom painted the scenic town and surroundings. This led to the founding of the highly regarded Museum of Modern Art in Ceret, which contains the paintings and sculptures of these and other artists as well as wonderful rotating exhibits. That, plus a Music Museum (Ceret is also known for its Catalunyan music and musicians), its Cherry Festival, its city walls and beautiful lanes, trees, shops and restaurants, making Ceret a very big draw for tourists.
Tourists also flock to the region for other attractions. On the Mediterranean shore, about 30 minutes away, are prominent cities like the regional capital, Perpignan, and famous coastal towns like Collioure (boasting a medieval castle and fortress, beautiful beaches, and charming shopping streets), and wine-producing towns like Banyuls-sur-Mer, whose mountainside vineyards run all the way down to the sea. Running south, the coastal road soon enters Northern Spain, passing through Salvador Dali’s hometown (with his museum not far away), the Spanish riviera (Costa Brava), the charming old town of Girona, and, in just another hour, the magnificent metropolis of Barcelona and its treasures.
Also, not to be missed are the inland treasures of the region: the foothills and peaks of the Pyrenees, including Mount Canigou, sacred in local tradition, wonderful hikes and bike trails, and charming mountainside villages like Castelnou and Eus (the latter above the Tet River facing Canigou) and monasteries like St. Martins high up on Canigou’s shoulder.
All of these add up to Mas Pallares being a Southern France paradise. You may experience it by booking soon.
