Roses is an essentially Mediterranean town with a notable tourist and seafaring tradition. It is situated in a unique natural setting, at the north of the Costa Brava, less than 30 kilometres from the frontier with France, 65 kilometres from Girona and 160 kilometres from Barcelona. Its origins go back to the 8th century BC with the arrival of the Rhodians and the foundation of the Greek city of Rhodes. These historical events have become the marks of identity of a modern, culturally active and generous town born of a peaceful co-existence with other peoples and civilisations in which we find a source of pride and satisfaction. We invite you to find your way around a town full of delights and new sensations awaiting your discovery, as did the earliest settlers over 3,000 years ago; a place in which the enjoyment of nature, culture and traditions is a privilege available to all. Roses is a town generous to tourists visiting it, for it affords a choice of the type of tourism best-suited to each traveller. There is the pleasure of "dolce far niente", which consists in taking a dip in a delightful little cove, savouring true sea cooking, sailing around a millenary bay or simply contemplating the marvellous sunsets. Two other well documented locations are Lloret de Mar and Blanes, both are lively and popular holiday spots.

Roses Information

The Costa Brava weather can be considered as spring time during 365 days of the year. The earliest settlers came to the area over 3,000 years ago, and their descendents have been happy here ever since. The Costa Brava has high-rise Spanish beachfront developments with excellent sandy beaches, unspoilt fishing villages, sheltered rocky coves and medieval towns with ancient castles. Some cities on the Costa Brava, like Barcelona, are popular for those looking for beachfront apartments for sale or new developments, and elsewhere townhouses in the suburbs and private villas for sale.
