Roses: a place to discover   The town of Roses captures the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle, with the long-existing traditions of living off the sea and the annual influx of tourists who visit Roses in the summer season. Situated in the midst of beautiful natural surroundings north of Costa Brava, Roses is less than 30 kilometers away from the French border, 65 kilometers from Girona and 160 kilometers from Barcelona. Throughout history, the Bay of Roses has been a key port for the establishment of numerous towns by civilizations that have left behind valuable records of their occupation. Roses’ history began in the 8th century BCE with the arrival of the Greeks who founded the city of Rhodes. Nearly 3,000 years of history can be traced through the vestiges of the past found in Roses: from the Pre-historical period to the current era, with the marked presence of the Greeks, the Romans and Medieval populations who have left behind a wealth of artifacts. Roses receives its visitors with warmth and hospitality, hosting a variety of cultural and recreational activities throughout the year.
