Bay of Roses (Sat /Sun )

We left Brieve and and drove South through the languedoc area, vineyards the sun shone for a change we didnt eat biscuits ! 475km later arrived at Bay Of Roses Spain , Emer had already sourced the Terrazzas hotel which was on the beach and we decided that it was time for vegging in the sun having covered so much so quickly in such awful weather conditions , wine removed from the fridge the celebration began we had finally hit the Med .
A few texts and phone calls later to both John Aungier and Ian Switzer the girlies had a list of hot spots in Roses . Roses is a beautiful horseshoe shaped bay with a rocky headland that is not unlike the peninsula (howth )at home actually !
We walked for miles the next day and Emer has now decided that a property here is on her list of wants !
The wind came out of nowhere (which was obviously great for The Americas cup in Valencia ) so we had to make do with the private garden for ray catching instead of the beach .
Planning the next few days over dinner that night we were an interesting sight in the restaurant with maps sat navs treo for web info all over the table !!
So Monday we ll leave here and cover about 450 km along the coast of Spain to Valencia where the Americas Cup awaits us , We re both soooo excited about that so fingers crossed for access all areas
