LES CRIQUES DE PORTEILS, Argelès-sur-Mer: sun, sea, sand and... sangria? Well, this site on the Mediterranean, south of Perpignan, is in what used to be North Catalonia, and it retains much of its Franco-Spanish feel, with ochre-painted buildings, street signs in Catalan and frequent strains of flamenco. A spread of trees keeps the camp well hidden from the road, while its seaward edge is handsomely marked by an old stone wall that undulates along the squat cliffs. The site overlooks three pebble beaches, solely for the use of campers, onto which the Med’s quiet waters lap. If you fancy something a bit wetter and wilder, there’s an English-speaking diving school at the happening port of Argelès-sur-Mer.
