Roses
The largest holiday resort town on the north of the Costa Brava
is the busy, crowded port of Roses, founded by the ancient Greeks
but sporting few remnants today of its long history besides a
crumbling citadel and sections of city wall. Instead the harbour
town, where once a handful of British sailors repulsed an attack by
Napoleon, is now a mass of typical high-rise resort developments,
rising in tiers from a busy harbour and a few miles of man-made
sandy beach, abuzz with holidaymakers indulging in all sorts of
watersports. There is an aquatic park, go-karts, numerous take-away
and fast food restaurants, scuba centres, cruises from the harbour
and many more tourist amenities. The town is famous for its sunset
over the Gulf of Roses.
