Roses

Roses extends along the Mediterranean coastline at an elevation of 5 meters, featuring beaches and natural harbors within the Costa Brava region.

Ancient Greek and Roman settlements established trading posts in this strategic location, leading to the development of maritime activities through multiple centuries.

Local festivals throughout the year reflect Mediterranean traditions with seafood gastronomy, fishing demonstrations, and community gatherings near the waterfront.

The municipality maintains several beach facilities, walking paths, and marine services, connected by regular bus routes to neighboring coastal towns.

The combination of Greek ruins, medieval fortifications, and modern port infrastructure creates multiple layers of architectural heritage within walking distance.
