ROSES, A PERFECT PLACE TO GO FOR HOLIDAYS!!
April 5th, 2007
Guys!! I had one of my best holidays ever in this small town, located in the heart of the “Costa Brava”. Only 2 hours north from Barcelona by car, Roses combines all the best characteristics for a really enjoyable week-end or maybe even more days: the beach is very large and beautiful, there are lots and lots of pubs and discos, there are many cultural places of interest and there is a great mix of nationalities, due to its’ proximity to France and the rest of Europe.
Actually, I’m planning to go to Roses with friends…maybe tomorrow, for the Easter holiday!! Why not?? It’s not difficult to plan at all…just rent the apartment, take the car and some clothes and that’s all you need! If you don’t have a car, don’t worry because you can reach Roses easily by bus or train. There is a bus which leaves from “Estación del Norte” and goes straight to Roses, or you can take a train from “Sants Estació” to Figueres and then take a bus to Roses. As you can see, there are a lot of possibilities, so you don’t have any excuse!
I’ve been there many times and now, I even have friends that I meet up with every summer! We always have such a great time! The majority of them are French…and they told me that Roses is a very common destination for French people. The apartment where I usually go is just in front of the sea, with a large swimming-pool and lots of facilities.
As I said before, Roses is perfectly located. If you have the chance to rent a car or if you have your own, you can go to other places of interest like Cadaqués, Cap de Creus or Figueres in just 30 minutes. So, I recommend you to go to Roses for more than a couple of days, and then you can enjoy not just the beaches and pubs, but also visit Dali’s Museum in Figueres, Dali’s house in Cadaqués, the Nature Reserve of Cap de Creus and a lot of small towns at the coast. And for those who love scuba diving, you absolutely have to go to “Les Illes Medes”…without any doubt, to best place to practice it in Catalunya!
If you are coming to Barcelona, don’t miss the opportunity to visit some towns of Catalunya, as Roses for example. I recommend you absolutely to visit “La Costa Brava”…it’s amazing. The views from Cap de Creus are indescribable, the cliffs, towns like Cadaqués, Tossa de Mar, L’Escala or Platja d’Aro, etc. Don’t miss it!! See you there
