Your yacht charter will take you to the Gulf of Roses on the Costa Brava, on whose northernmost foothills lies the town of the same name. The bay is known for its 12 km long beach and goes north into the rugged coast around the Cap de Creus. The cape is a nature reserve and represents the last foothill of the Pyrenees. It is also the largest undeveloped area of the Spanish Mediterranean, where you have the opportunity to get to know the barren but beautiful original nature of the area. For divers, there are several diving areas around the cape, which stand out for their biodiversity and abundance of fish. South of Roses is another natural park - Aiguamolls del Empordà. The park includes the lagoon landscape between the estuaries of Muga and Fluvià, which form a protected retreat for numerous animal and bird species. If you are lucky, you will encounter otters, wild Camargue horses or white storks, to list just a few of the resident species. Besides hiking and diving, the area around Roses offers a wide range of sporting activities such as kayaking, kite surfing, windsurfing, horseback riding, golf or mountain bike tours. For the physical well-being there are several restaurants with simple traditional Catalan cuisine or star cuisine. In Roses there is something for every taste and every budget.

Varied Costa Brava - Art paired with nature rich in species

The former fishing village of Cadaqués is easy to reach from Roses in a northerly direction. In this village, which is considered the most beautiful on the Costa Brava, Salavdor Dalí was a frequent guest. In the neighboring Port Lligat you can visit Dalí's residence, which is in no way inferior to the artist in its extravagance. Just under 35 km further inland, a museum is dedicated to Dalí in the town of Figueres, which he himself helped to design. The Teatre-Museu Dalí shows among other things originals of the artist. Continuing north along the coast, after rounding Cap de Creus, you will reach Portbou, the last Spanish port before the French border and thus the northern end of the Costa Brava.

Sailing south from Roses, you will experience the beauty of the Catalan coast in short and doable stages even for less experienced sailors. A must for anyone interested in history is a visit to the Empúries Archaeological Museum in the southern part of the bay. The park is the largest archaeological site in Catalonia and manages to fascinate even those who are not so well versed in history. Numerous finds from the Greek and Roman settlement of the place, ruins in good condition and especially the numerous mosaics and sculptures will remain in your memory.
L'Estartit attracts with an exceptional diving area around the nature reserve of the offshore islands Illes Medes. The fishing museum in Palamós, the second largest fishing port in Catalonia, offers a good overview of the development of fishing and is worth a visit not only for anglers. Enjoy a swim in the warm water at one of the city's sandy beaches, such as Playa de la Fosca, overlooked by the ruins of the medieval fortress Castell de Sant Esteve. In the direction of Barcelona, the next port of call is Blanes, the southern end of the Costa Brava. The town is touristy and offers all kinds of amenities, such as countless cafes and restaurants, but is not too crowded. If the beach promenade is still too crowded for you, you can visit the botanical garden above the harbor and be enchanted by the biodiversity of the Mediterranean flora. From Blanes Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of the Catalonia region, is not far away.
