Roses - Costa Brava - Resorts Guide

Overview: The largest holiday resort town on the north of the Costa Brava is the busy, crowded port of Roses, founded by the ancient Greeks but sporting few remnants today of its long history besides a crumbling citadel and sections of city wall. Instead the harbour town, where once a handful of British sailors repulsed an attack by Napoleon, is now a mass of typical high-rise resort developments, rising in tiers from a busy harbour and a few miles of man-made sandy beach, abuzz with holidaymakers indulging in all sorts of watersports. There is an aquatic park, go-karts, numerous take-away and fast food restaurants, scuba centres, cruises from the harbour and many more tourist amenities. The town is famous for its sunset over the Gulf of Roses.

Restaurants: For the best cuisine in Roses, holidaymakers should visit El Bulli, Can Fornells, Pizzeria Dolce Vita or Rafas.
