Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Roses is "an essentially Mediterranean town with a notable tourist and seafaring tradition. It is situated in a unique natural setting..." says this municipal website, and every word is true. It adds that "If we manage to have Roses seduce you with its beautiful sunsets, the amiable and hospitable nature of its people, its historical legacy, the range of tourist, sports and gastronomic facilities, the professionalism of the services on offer and the infinite leisure and relaxation potential, then we will have achieved our objective," which contains some big words, but doesn't it sound good? And that is without mentioning the spectacular coastal scenery nearby, including the Cap de Creus Natural Park.

Hotel complex the Madrague, located to the foot of a beach of 450 meters of fine golden, bathed sand with wonderful waters blue turquesa, the attractiveness added to be contiguous with the Natural Park of the Cap of Creus.

The 'FHN' stands for Fundaciò Història i Natura, and this admirable website has a tremendous amount of useful information (but not all available in English) about Roses and the surrounding area, including, naturally, both its history and its nature.
