Gulf of Roses

The Gulf of Roses is a bay of the Mediterranean on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, north-eastern Spain, between Cap de Creus and the Montgrí massif. The Greek colony of Rhode and the later town of Roses lay on its northern shore, and the ancient Greek port of Emporion lay near its southern end.
