Catalan Romanesque
The Alberes villages hold small Romanesque churches and hillside chapels, several reachable only on foot, with Catalan dedications that predate the modern border.
Walk between them
Laroque-des-Alberes, Sorede and Banyuls-sur-Mer make a natural circuit, pairing chapels with vineyard and hill paths.
Opening hours are short
Many chapels open only for mass, festivals or guided visits. Check with the local mairie or tourist office before planning a trip around one.
