Ponteilla is an Aspres village that is actually part of the "agglomeration" of Perpignan. It therefore has a different bus company (Sankéo) and different management than the other ones that are all (except Llupia) managed by the Communauté des Communes in Thuir. 

Perhaps because of that, it has a more dynamic feel, while remaining a country village. 

In the old centre there is a good boulangerie, a butcher, a Tabac, a bank, a little social club and a local café that has recently transformed itself into a restaurant. It also has a weekly market. On the outskirts of town, there is a small row of shops comprising a pharmacy, florist and two independent take-away food shops. 

Commuting to Perpignan is relatively easy by car or bus and it is connected to the Thuir-Perpignan cycle track. 

Overall, it's perhaps the first place to look when considering villages in Les Aspres.
