Rosas has a long coastline, with several beaches. The local Spanish friend we met in Croatia, Irena, was expected to lead us to one of the better beaches.
The meeting failed, and we used to beach close to the hotel - St. Margarita.
I don't know if it is one of Irena's good or bad beach, but I liked it: not too crowded, warm water, soft sand... and dancing at night in a bar under a thunderstorm.

El Bulli was everything I had read about, hoped for, and more. This was a true dining experience that can't quite be summed up in words b/c I don't feel like typing that much right now, but it was simply AMAZING. This is a sampling of the menu I had when we went:
gin fizz
spherical olives
golden nuggets
goat cheese "mercedes"
beetroot and yoghurt meringue
5 black olive bread
m salty "catanias"
salty chocolate with cassis, yoghurt and pistachio
tangerines bombons, peanut and curry
sesame sponge cake with miso
fresh pine-cone and pinions dacqoise
rasberries fondan and rasberries vinegar
tiger nut milk flowers
oysters yoghurt with px in tempura
watermelon with blackberries caviar
haricot bean with Joselito's iberian pork fat
"caju" with yoghurt
anchovy and ham with yoghurt yuba
gorgonzola shell, walnut, celeery and apple
tomato cous-cous with oil-olives, basil and parmesan cheese
gnocchi of polenta with coffee and safran yuba
"Padron" ravioli
razor clam with seaweed
" fideua" of shimensi
teriyaki mackerel belly
eel-veal bone marrow with mustard leaf
hare juise
"torta Canarejal" with red fruits
"trufitas"
snowy landscape
Favorite Dish: If I HAD to choose one from each category..
I'd say "Spherical Olives" for the appetizer. They weren't like any olives I've ever had before. They felt almost paper thin and had to be eaten in one bite otherwise all the juice (I don't know how that much was packed in there) would explode all over the place instead of in your mouth.
"Teriyaki Mackerel Belly" for the main course. I have to say I'm always a sucker for any kind of super fresh and super tender fish part (chin, belly, etc.)--this dish wasn't particularly surprising like all his other dishes, but it was plain and simple sumptuously delicious. The plum-ish sea foam and prune on the side brought out even more of the flavor from the fish and the light teriyaki on top of it.
The "Trufitas" I'm not even sure how to describe. They somehow denigrated in your mouth, yet were filled with a sweet, suttle, beautiful explosion of.. air? Not sure, or something chewy and then disappeared. I'd have to relive the moment to be sure. =)

Near Rosas I passed a small town with a nice square, where old walls surrounded a church with an unfinished tower.
I couldn't retain the place's name - Ulla... I presume.

Rosas was not in my plan. But we met some amusing friends in Croatia, and, telling them that we would spend some days in Catalunya, we decided to meet in Rosas. I cancelled some reservations already...
This page is dedicated to the almost four hours we spent sitting at the famed El Bulli restaurant on Cala Montjoi.
The citadel was the first city of Roses build by the Romans in the year 776 BC.
Rosas or Roses, is another nice catalonian coastal town. Nice beaches and some good nightlife, is a good place to visit the nearby Figueres or Cadaques to see Dali´s museums.
