If you’re a bit of a nature lover, the north side of the beach near Argelès is a nice location to head.
The main beach can get a little crowded and commercial at the best of times, but if you take a short walk you can still enjoy the quality clear waters and the stunning views of the Pyrenees without all the hustle and bustle – and right behind you is some equally picturesque grassland that helps block out the rest of the world.
This extraordinary double helix staircase, also known as the "Snail Staircase" or "Bramante Double Helix," is a masterpiece crafted by the renowned Renaissance architect Donato Bramante. As visitors ascend or descend this remarkable structure, they become part of a rich tapestry of history and art.
