I am so blessed to live in this beautiful part of the world - we are less than 2 hours from the ski resorts in the Pyrenees and just half an hour from the Mediterranean coast. Spain is minutes from home and in every direction we enjoy beautiful landscapes. Look at these sunflower fields - aren’t they just beautiful?
Summer here is so much fun - we can rely on the fabulous weather to plan outdoor events and the whole world is here: the full time residents and many second home owners who come for the summer months. Being a popular tourist destination is, of course, why the Pyrenees Orientales has the highest incidence of covid in all of France presently :(
And due to the heat we have an elevated risk of forest fires. There have been four in this area just this week, a strong reminder that we really do need to do all that we can to reduce the effects of climate change.
As I feel super lucky to live all year-round in Céret, especially during these times of limited travel,I hope you are enjoying happy sunny days wherever you are.
