Roses Cataluna
The coastal town of Roses is in the north-eastern corner of Catalunya where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea, just 10 miles from Figueres and around 15 miles south of the French border. Roses was once the oldest town in Catalonia, founded by Greek mariners from Rhodes, who named it after their home. It is set in a perfectly sheltered spot to enjoy the sandy beaches, against the rocky outcrop of Cape Creus. Roses was still a fishing village in the fifties, but has since experienced the tourism boom. There are many attractive features that have been left over the course of its 3,000-year history; a megalithic park, the military fortresses from the 16th century, the monastery Santa Maria de Roses and the Dolmen Creu d'en Cobertella. Visitors can enjoy the Don Pancho cruise-boats leaving the harbour, touring the Cap de Creus or going all the way down the Gulf of Roses to the Illes Medes. There is the Agua Brava aquatic park a few miles out of town, a go-kart circuit on the coast with a 900 m track and three scuba-diving centres.
