Description
The Gulf of Roses (Catalan: Golf de Roses) is the most northeastern bay on the Catalan coast of Spain. The bay is 16 kilometres wide and is formed by the valley of the Fluvià river but also contains the estuaries of the Manol and the Muga rivers. These rivers drain the southern flanks of the eastern end of the Pyrenees and Alberes. The area is often affected by the severe Tramuntana wind.
