About this place ...
Le Boulou
This is a border town before heading into Spain, a detour was built around it some years ago and the town has improved along with the vibe. Housing is cheaper here than other towns in the Vallespir. The town centre has lots of shops and a couple of restaurants and there is a large market on Sunday. On the outskirts of the town are big retailers like Gifi, Action, McDonalds, quite a few Supermarkets. It also sits on a cycle track running from Argeles at the coast to the lake a Saint-Jean Pla de Corts, Ceret and all the way up to Arles sur tech as well as one going to La Jonquera via Maureillas. Yet another new cycle route goes through Les Aspres to Thuir.
It has a couple of museums and a casino but Le Boulou is not a really tourist hotspot like other towns in the region.
Positives
Considerations
Very well located for roads. The motorway péage for Spain is nearby. I has a commercial centre with supermarkets. It also has an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts.
There is still a fair bit of traffic running through the town. Some streets of the old town are a bit shabby.
