The Porte d'Espagne is a small reminder that Ceret once guarded routes toward the Spanish border. The old gate and surrounding streets give the town a sharper historical edge than its relaxed market atmosphere first suggests.
Use it as part of a wander through the old centre rather than a destination in itself. Ceret's pleasure is in these fragments: a gate, a fountain, a church, a museum, and mountain light at the end of a lane.
