Do you know Roses?
Located on the Costa Brava in the centre of one of the most beautiful bays in the world, the Bay of Roses, the town of Roses is home to a great many vestiges from the past. You will find many prehistoric dolmens in the hills around the town. These ancient funeral chambers are formed by several horizontal and vertical stone slabs which form a corridor and which were used as collective burial sites.
