On the shores of the Mediterranean, where the Pyrenees fall into the sea, lies Collioure a small Catalan fishing village that boasts a vibrant cuisine and a colourful landscape. Apart from fauvism one of its best known exports is the anchovy.

Since medieval times the village, once an important port on the Vermillion coast, has been fought over and swung between Spanish and French ownership. By the mid 1600’s the Treaty of the Pyrenees bought it under French control and at around the same time the village, already famous for its salted anchovies, was granted a special royal decree to continue producing them.

By the beginning of the 20thcentury hundreds were employed in around 40 anchovy salt houses and fresh catches were bought in every morning in the traditional brightly painted fishing boats called Catalans.
