  the promenade, the 16th century citadel, the Monastery of Santa Maria of Roses, dolmens, the 16th century Mas Palou, the port, the historic laneways. Why not visit the Cap de Creus, Aiguamolls park, or the sites in and around the Alberes mountains.

  To do

  The main attraction in Roses is its fine sandy beach where you can relax throughout summer. However, Catalonia also offers unique and refined cuisine that would be a real shame to miss out on. The choice of restaurants in this small town is vast, so you will have absolutely no trouble finding something to suit your palate. The beach in Roses is the ideal place to learn a new sport or get into sailing. We recommend you take a boat tour of Cap de Creus. This park is a true gem, displaying unique contrasts when it comes to its nature.

  To think about

  You may want to hire a car to discover the region and go on some excursions. Several national parks and villages, such as Pals and Begur, are located nearby and the landscapes of 'Alt Empuria' are simply wonderful. Alternatively, one other pleasant option is to go for a bike ride.

• To avoid

  If you want to come across well to the Catalan people, avoid any remarks regarding the use of Catalan, the official language. The Catalan people are Catalan before they are Spanish and if this bothers you, it is better not to say anything, as this is a sensitive subject.

  To try

  We recommend you try local fruit and Catalan specialities such as artichokes, tomato bread sprinkled with oil and seasoned with salt, and xuixos, puff pastry stuffed with French pastry cream.

  To bring back

  Plenty of Catalan products can be taken on the plane with no problems, such as the mild, large sausage and chocolate sweets ('the flies of San Narciso'). Black pottery has been very popular in the region for several decades now. It is currently produced in Quart, around 3 miles from Girona.
