Cool Ewe? Cool You're? Collioure.

The day before we left Port Barcares we took a short trip to a small coastal French town - Collioure.   I have to say, this was one of the biggest small surprises we had on our trip.  Collioure has a distinct Cinque Terra feel (one of our favorite places in Europe) with its own French feel.   

The only mildly difficult thing about Collioure is trying to pronounce it. cool-EWE? cool-URE? cool-OOO? Whatever.

 Collioure has a beautiful cove beach in an isolated bay on it's sea front.

 The buildings, colors, structures and setting is reminiscent of the Italian Cinque Terra.

 Castles and a stone windmill command the hilltops around the town.

 The iconic stone lighthouse.
