The Pyrénéen town of Prades is our headquarters when we visit this part of French Catalonia.  It is surrounded by some of the most pure and beautiful examples of Romanesque architecture and sits in the shadow of the great Mont Canigou, the mystic mountain that dominates the landscape. 

We make our home at the Castel Rose, enjoy our meals in the Place de la Republique, drink our strong red wine from the porrón and toast Pablo Casals, whose musical festival has graced the summer landscape for seven decades.
