The present-day Roses owes its origin to the Greek colony of Rhode, a founding nucleus that took advantage of the privileged location of this territory.
The bay of Roses is a magnificent setting for water activities, and is home to the fishing port and the important marina. The town's link with fishing is close, and from it derives a rich gastronomic tradition that has led to the emergence of internationally renowned chefs such as Ferran Adrià.
