More about Les Ayguades and the surrounding area

Les Ayguades is a thriving beach resort on the edge of the nature reserve of La Clape . Here you will find everything within easy reach, to make your holiday enjoyable. Just a few yards from the house is a communal swimming pool (generally open from mid June to mid September), for the use of guests in this part of the complex.

   

A little further away are the beach and the lagoon, where you can swim to your hearts content, or bronze in the sun. Wind-surfing, sand-yachting, go-carting, horse riding and fishing are activities which can be enjoyed nearby and the picturesque fishing village of Gruissan is less than five minutes' drive away.

Numerous shops such as grocery store, newsagent, bakery, launderette, butcher, bars and restaurants, are only a short walk away. About half a mile from the house is a wind surfing school, where you can also hire sail boats as well as sufboards.

The "massif de la Clape" is a dedicated nature reserve, where you can explore nature and go for wonderful walks. The Clape area is also famous for it's wines, which you can taste and buy directly at the cellars of the growers. Nearby Gruissan is an interesting village, a "circulade", built on a concentric pattern around the ruined tower atop of the hill. Excellent fresh fish can be bought here and a lot of the restaurants around the port specialise in fish cookery. The salt pans, where sea salt is produced are also well worth a visit.
