Michal's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Cadaqués is a really famous village in the Costa Brava. It is where Salvador Dali created his art, and the whole village has a specific theme, with white houses and blue accents throughout. It also features a port like no other, with boats being moored to buoys in the middle of the bay rather than a conventional port. Cadaques also features great variety of food, I would recommend “El Compartir” for an amazing culinary experience, “Talla Restaurant” for amazing food with incredible views, as well as “Boia Nit” for a sophisticated cocktail. I would highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation as they tend to be quite full.

Great place for a hike with amazing views
Cala Montjoi has a beautiful beach, and it is also the place where there used to be the best restaurant in the world, El Bullí. Now it is converted into a food laboratory, and the building has been renovated into a modern, heart shaped complex.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Motorbike/bike is the best mode of transport
Due to the amount of traffic in the summer, if you want to get around quickly, use the bike/motorbike (rental places available in Roses)
Ways to save
There are EV chargers around the city, 100% free
If you have an EV, you’ll be happy to know that there are several EV chargers around the city that not only offer free charge, but also free parking (especially useful in the port)
Don't miss
Sunday market
There is always a Sunday market with a nice variety of fresh local food
Don't miss
The sunset 🌅
Roses has one of the most incredible sunsets (especially around September). Villa Victoria is the best place from which to take the most incredible sunset pic 😇
What to pack
Bring on your summer clothes
Make sure to pack your swimsuit/swimming shorts 😜
Getting around
Roses Express 🚂
There’s a special touristic train that goes around the best places in Roses. It’s called Roses Express and you can find all the details online. Great to go on with kids! It explores places that are also outside the village itself (lots of beautiful nature)
