Day 285 - 23/06/2014 : Almadrava beach

In the way to Cadaques after leaving Roses we were able to take fantastic view from its beaches, for example L'Almadrava.

This beautiful bay, otherwise named l'Almadraba - or Canyelles Grosses, gained its name from the large tunny fishing nets ("Almadraves") which were used from the beach there. It is probably the most elegant of the seven Roses beach, and is certainly one of our favourites !

The beach is 600 yards long, and like Canyelles Petites, the sand is fine and the water is clear and shallow.


There is good free parking, within minutes from the beach, although in August a slightly longer stroll may be required.

L'Almadrava itself has three beach bars plus the Santa Lucia which has an excellent restaurant with beach-side bar. Wherever you are staying in the Roses area, Almadrava beach should be on your lists of visits !
