Rosas offers an exceptional setting with a rich and preserved fauna and flora. It is located opposite the bay of Rosas, which has been listed in the very select club of the 30 most beautiful bays in the world since 2011, and is surrounded by the natural parks of Cap Creux, Montgri and Aiguamolls de l'Empordà. Its landscape is made up of rocky cliffs and coves renowned for their beauty: Cala Montjoi, La Pelosa, Canadell, etc.

Together with Empuriabrava, it also forms the largest residential marina in Europe, with 45 km of beaches, 15 km of coves and 50 km of navigable channels.

An ideal location for rental investment
