Ceret in the foot hills of the Pyrenees is one of our favorite places, we always enjoy our visits, lots of higily pigily streets, huge plantain trees and any amount of sidewalk cafe's
One of Ceret claim to fame is this was the first home of Picasso after he left Spain. Lots of other painters spent time here resulting in a great art scene.

A few kilometres away on the coast is the town of Colloure evan better known than Ceret as a painters hangout, made famous by Mattise and Degain and their paintings of the buildings, fishing boats and inhabitants in the early 20th. century
One of the little streets, all the houses painted vivid colours. The streets are very steep with lots of steps, not wheelchair friendly I'afraid.
A street with cobblestones, you don't see many of these anymore.
Another typical Colloure street.
These tomatoes were harvested last year, they are a special Spanish type for making pain tomat, more on that in a future post, they are hanging in my daughter Victoria's restaurant waiting for the coming together with the pain to become pain tomat.
