Enjoy The Spanish Costa Brava: Roses

For a true taste of the history and beauty that drenches the rugged region of the Costa Brava in Catalonia, travelers must make time to visit Roses. This resort is the largest on the northern coast and rests along the calm waters of the natural harbour just 30 km from the French border. To visit this beautiful resort you can live in a nice Costa Brava Hotel or Costa Brava Apartment.

Its proximity and relative ease of connection for the purposes of trade, along with its beauty and access to the sea made it a much sought after location more than 2500 years ago. History buffs can tour the ruins of the old Greek city of Rhode, founded in 776 B.C., which were eventually encircled within a monstrous military fortress built in the 16th century to ward off potential attacks from corsairs and pirates. The region simply oozes the romantic notion of an adventurous sea-faring history. 

Over the course of the past 40 years, the town has grown to become a premier tourist destination for its natural beauty and of course, the architecture and history that capture imaginations. The fact that the resort is so close and accessible to major Western European centres added to the growth of Roses as a tourist hub. You can find nice Costa Brava accommodations in Roses.

The town centre boasts a wide array of lovely restaurants where the regional cuisine of Girona can be sampled at will. Many of these locations are built so one can absorb the breathtaking views while sampling local delicacies. For the lover of food and drink, one can ask for little more to offer pure satisfaction.

There are lighthouses and 16th century castles, churches of inspirational design and 7th century fortresses throughout the region and of course, fabulous beaches teaming with soft white sand. Some are more developed while others are nestled between rocky outcrops and feel as though they’ve barely been touched by the hand of man. Some of these are only accessible by boat or on foot, and certainly well worth the effort.

Along with the beaches, the natural beauty of the area is captured and preserved in the Creus Cape Peninsula and the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l’Emporda, which has been a protected area since the early 80s to ensure that future generations can access the unique flora and fauna of the region. Close to this beauty there are several Costa Brava holiday homes and Costa Brava accommodations.

Roses is truly the ideal tourist destination with something to satisfy every type of traveler. The history, the beauty, the food and the beaches ensure that no matter who sets the agenda, all will be satisfied during your stay in a Costa Brava hotel.
