Perpignan, which has already won the hearts of tourists, was once the capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca, but now the city is famous for its fine, exquisite wines, the delicate bouquet of which is created from the best grapes grown on the fertile soils of the province. Art lovers will also want to visit the train station, whose walls and ceiling were painted by Salvador Dali himself.

The historic charm of Perpignan doesn’t compare to the glamor of Collioure. Although the town has been known since the Greeks and Phoenicians chose it as a seaport, Collioure became famous thanks to its inhabitants. During the 19th century, it was home to some of Europe’s most colorful bohemians: Chagall, Cézanne, Picasso, Derain and Dufy.
