    Collioure Mill

    This windmill is quite rare in the area, most of which are water mills. It ceases its activity in the nineteenth century and gradually turns into ruins. Perfectly restored in a traditional way by the municipality in 2001, it is now in working order for the elaboration of Collioure olive oil. Near the city, it is a perfect destination for a nice little walk.

Description

  1. Head towards the Museum of Modern Art, then follow the signs to Fort Saint-Elme. Don’t miss the stop at La Glorieta for its beautiful view of Collioure.
  2. After the mill, take the steep path on the right. Turn left onto the small road called Chemin du Col de la Mala Cara.
