ℹ️ Additional information
The local organization makes a big effort to make volunteers involved on the local culture, so there are several activities planned with that goal: cultural tours, visits to natural sites, the first weekend there will a visit to the Jonquera area with the MUME and part of the exile route. On the second weekend - will make a walking route to the beach following the GR-11.
Cantallops is a very small urban nucleus (around 300 inhabitants). It is the last village before going to the Castle site. In Cantallops there is a very active local association that organizes family activities in nature with whom we will make a brotherhood encounter. There are also 2 wineries that will share with us the secrets of making quality wine!
