All over the world, there 38 bays that are part of a very select club. This club is none other than the “Most Beautiful Bays in the World”. For a bay to gain the honor of being part of them, it has to fulfill a series of requirements: As having a rich fauna and flora, be known and loved locally as national and considered as an emblem for its population.
Spain has the honor of having two bays endorsed by UNESCO as the most beautiful in the world. One is the Bay of Santander, in the Cantabrian Sea and the other is the Bay of Roses, located in the Mediterranean Sea, and it is in this last jewel of the Costa Brava that we are going to focus our post today.
Bahía de Roses, a treasure of the Mediterranean Sea
Between the Cape of Creus and the Macizo of Montgrí, you will find the beautiful and immaculate Roses Bay. With more than 45 kilometers of beaches, 15 kilometers of coves and 50 kilometers of navigable channels, this arch-shaped bay offers vertiginous cliffs and small and intimate coves with clear and calm waters. Its waters are also shallow, which makes them suitable for families and for the practice of sailing sports.
The municipalities of L’Escala, Castellón de Ampurias, San Pedro Pescador and Roses form the environment of this bay. These municipalities give to the bay their environment and their cultural, landscape and tourist values.
The Bay of Roses is not only recognized for its beauty, but was also chosen for its many attractions, tourist and territorial values. It has been recognized for its three natural parks, the emblematic ruins of Ampurias, which has great sports offer (like sailing sports) and, of course, for the rich and wonderful gastronomy.
In flavor and in restaurants, the Bay of Roses also wins. Do not miss the opportunity to explore this bay and enjoy the authentic flavor of the Mediterranean in Roses in Girona. An authentic experience for the senses, we are waiting for you!
