We have visted Roses in our motor cruiser when travelling along the coast from France down to Barcelona and we love it. Of course there are many ports along the route who are also very welcoming but Roses has a special place in our hearts as we had our honeymoon here. For us it was a chance to visit as land based tourists. To get the very best of your holiday we recommend that you do your homework in advance so that your holiday coincides with local events like the summer solstice which add vibrant colour to your holiday and you can make some lovely memories to cherish forever.

It is a lovely part of Spain. Plenty of restaurants along the sea-front promenade. Everywhere is walkable. Lovely bay with view of mountains. Lovely sea - clear and clean and remains shallow for a good distance.

January and February is VERY VERY quiet with most bars and restaurants closed for the season. Having said this, I would not want to visit in High Season. I would imagine the best time to visit is late Spring, or early Autumn.

Finally a hotel that was not the typical minimalist, sterile style but warm and cosy. Hope they don’t ‘wreckovate’ it. Loved the old world charm, the shutters which allowed for ventilation, the large trees around the building and the wood & terracotta tile decor. Also the pictures on the wall showing real surroundings of the local area.

Roses is a real Spanish town - unlike some other resorts in the area - but in high season much of it is still dominated by tourists. Obviously this has advantages - lots of shopping opportunities, boat trips, restaurants, etc. And it doesn't take much to get away from the tourist centre and find things with a local feel, from the covered market to some classy tapas joints. Great for history too - the Cuitadela is fascinating (especially the Monastery), the Visigothic Fortress is a magical sunset spot, and although we didn't check out the megalithic trail it looked awesome!
