Casteil
This compact hamlet in the Pyrénées-Orientales with mountain scenery, river access along the Cady, and a surprising number of cafés and historic churches for its size, Casteil sits within the Catalan Pyrenees Regional Natural Park and is the base for reaching the Abbey of Saint-Martin-du-Canigou on the slopes above. The wider Conflent valley area includes several Natura 2000 protected zones, and UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the broader region.
