Surroundings
Get on your bike
Surrounding the glamping in Espira de Conflent are some great routes for cycling enthusiasts. These include several cycling routes in the nearby Pyrenees, such as the famous Col du Tourmalet, which has been featured in the Tour de France. The region is also home to the Voie Verte, a network of bike trails that stretches for 20 km from Ille-sur-Têt to Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, past picturesque villages and stunning natural scenery.
Visit some wine caves
The Pyrénées-Orientales has a rich tradition of winemaking, and the area is best known for its sweet fortified wines, such as Banyuls and Maury, which are made from grapes grown on steep terraces overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Many of the local wineries offer tours and tastings, so if you are a wine lover, the Pyrénées-Orientales is definitely a suitable region for a good glass of wine.
Discover Perpignan
The city of Perpignan is a 40-minute drive from the campsite and is known for its rich history, distinctly Catalan culture and unique blend of French and Catalan culture. In the city you will find the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, a magnificent Gothic palace built in the 13th century that served as the residence of the kings of Majorca. Don't forget the city's thriving culinary scene, with local specialties such as fresh seafood, Catalan stews and an array of delicious desserts and pastries. Several cultural festivals are held throughout the year, including the Estivales de Perpignan, a summer music and art festival, and the Visa Pour l'Image, an international festival of photojournalism.
Fun 20 minutes away
To have a fun day in the area, you don't have to drive far. Discover the impressive Grottes des Canalettes, just a 20-minute drive from Camping Canigou. These enchanting caves will amaze you with their stalactites, stalagmites and illuminated underground lakes. A special day in nature, and a magical experience for young and old alike! Another option 20 minutes away is a visit to beautiful Villefranche-de-Conflent, a medieval walled town.

De tent is ruim en netjes en zeer goed schoongemaakt. De ligging van de tent was geweldig aan het strandje en meertje met veel natuur om ons heen en lekker veel schaduw. De camping was voor onze pubers een top ervaring.
