Roses

Roses is a municipality in the region of Alt Empordà in the province of Girona, Catalonia. 

It is located on the north coast of the Gulf of Roses, south of Cap de Creus. It is a large tourist centre, with housing estates, hotels and beaches and two ports (fishing and marina), and an attractive place of great importance within the northern sector of the Costa Brava. The coastline of the municipality of Roses includes a long sandy beach and further east a large number of coves, including Canyelles Petites, L'Almadrava, Cap Norfeu, Punta Falconera, Jóncols and Montjoi.

Although tourism is the main source of the economy, the primary sector is also present, with agriculture (cultivation of olives and vines), and also, although to a lesser extent, fishing, as Roses has the most important fishing port on the coast of northern Catalonia.
