A Cherished Motorbike Journey Memory: Argelès-sur-Mer

The photograph I chose holds significant sentimental value, bringing back many cherished memories. This picture was taken atop the mountain of Argelès-sur-Mer, a small town in France, during a route I took around Catalonia and France with my father. I was extremely cheerful because it was my first long motorbike route, which is why I treasure this photograph. Furthermore, I love the picture because the landscape was truly beautiful: from the mountaintop, we could see the Mediterranean Sea, which was very calm, and nearby towns like Collioure and Port-Vendres.
