The Bay of Roses
The Bay of Roses is an area of so many delightful alternatives, with such a variety of landscapes and facilities, that it seems able to cater for everyone's taste and requirements. Timeless countryside from the gentle Emporda plain, with its orchards and sunflowers to the olive groves and vineyards with the ever present Pyrenees mountains.
Wide sandy beaches and secret rocky coves, all so typical of the Costa Brava at its very best, with mild winters and summer sunshine.
Catalan cuisine is as varied as the landscape, from 'pa amb tomaquet' (bread spread with tomatoes) to 'mar i muntanya' (chicken with lobster), rounded off with 'crema catalana'.
Some of the finest chefs come from this beautiful area, like Ferran Adriá. He is the chef of one of the best restaurants in the world, El Bulli, which is situated near Roses.
Eating is actually a separate culture here. Almost every restaurant offers you a day menu (prices vary from 6 – 15 euro for a 2 or 3 course meal) and each holiday in Catalunya is accompanied by lots of food.
In the Bay of Roses you find many beautiful restaurants with typical Catalan cuisine, but also international food, like Thai, French, Fusion, etc. Many regulars come back here for a week of fine wining and dining!
Also the wines from this area are worth mentioning and slowly they start to concurr Europe. Along the wine route you find many vineyards and winehouses. To start the harvest, each year in September there is a wine festival in Figueres to present the newest wines.
There are historic towns, farming villages, festivals, sardanas (Catalan dances) and street markets. At the ancient site of Empuries, you can follow the footsteps of the Romans and Greeks, who first landed here and named Roses after their home town Rhodes. In Dalí’s triangle (Figueres, Cadaqués and Púbol) you find many influences of this excentric artist. His museum in Figueres is one of the most visited musea in Spain, but also his house in Cadaqués (the white artist town) and the castle of Galá (his muse) in Púbol are worth a visit.
Busy beach resorts that are not too large, with there wide beaches and everything a visitor needs.
Quieter coastal towns and villages with their fishing boats on the shore or in harbour with fresh fish 364 days a year and an authentic Spanish living.
Sporting and leisure facilities are everywhere - yachting, most water sports, fishing, horse riding, walking, nature reserves, tennis and golf at superb courses such as Torremirona and Perelada golf clubs. The airfield for light aircraft and international parachuting at Empuriabrava. There is also excellent skiing from November to April, less than 2 hours away at La Molina, the Pyrenees ski resort, with Andorra only 1 1/2 hours beyond.
