Frequently Asked Questions
By tender: ships anchor out in the bay and launches land passengers steps from the centre, facing the seafront promenade.
Yes. The tender landing touches the resort's seaside heart and the main beach starts right there, soft sand and calm water. Five minutes is enough to put your towel down.
The Ciutadella takes an hour to walk; the promenade and the beach fill the rest. If you would rather leave the resort, Cadaqués is about thirty minutes away and is worth the day.
A large star-shaped fortified enclosure holding an unusual archaeological site. The Greeks founded the trading post of Rhode here more than two thousand years ago; Romans, medieval monks and Renaissance military engineers each added a layer on top. You wander freely, with a small museum tying it together.
Yes, if you accept about thirty minutes of mountain road. It is a village of white houses gathered around its church in a cove made famous by Salvador Dalí. His house, in neighbouring Portlligat bay, can be visited by reservation.
A natural park beyond Cadaqués, a land's end of rock tortured by the tramontana wind. Cliffs, hidden coves and swim stops are the programme, also reachable by catamaran trips from Roses bay.
The Trinitat castle, a sixteenth-century star-shaped fortress that once guarded the entrance to the roadstead. The climb gives the finest view over the bay and the rooftops of the resort.
The wide family beach in front of the promenade for convenience, the smaller coves towards the rocky point for quiet, and Almadrava for the clarity of the water. The coastline covers just about every kind of swim.
Suquet de peix, a saffron fishermen's stew, coastal anchovies, seafood rice and crema catalana for dessert. The seafront terraces serve it all with an Empordà white. The fishing harbour still keeps a working fleet, and the auction comes alive when the trawlers return.
Yes, one of the easiest on the Costa Brava. Landing five minutes from the sand, calm water, a flat promenade and a fortress to explore. Only the tender transfer asks for a little patience.
