On the way to Font Romeu, there is situated the little village St. Thomas with its thermal springs. Lying outside, in the warm, sulphurous and natrium-containing water is a good deed after a day on skis. Several steam saunas and two whirlpools are located in the house (one with view on the gorge). There is an area of silence with a fantastic view and in a small café, you can get a beverage free of charge per visit.
The summit is "the" mountain in Catalonia. The mountain is in the Pyrenees and 2,784 m high. Between November and April, it is covered with snow. The summit is not really accessible by car, but can be reached on foot between June and September. One should have been on the top once in his lifetime. :-)
Perpignan, or in Catalan Perpinya, is situated only 22 kilometres from Fitou. This lively, colourful city, whose beginnings go back to the 10th century, is a beautiful mixture of southern France and Catalonia. Incidentally, Perpignan was the capital of the kingdom Majorca in the 13th century. The Palais des Rois is still to this day a powerful symbol from this time. You can stroll here for hours through the alleys, markets, visit unusual shops, nice cafés and restaurants. You will not notice how quickly time passes by.
Font Romeu is one of the oldest ski resorts in the Pyrenees. It is about 2,000 metres high and is only about one hour drive from Fitou.
