Roses's waters
The wide, sandy bay of Roses, backed by the last Pyrenean foothills of Cap de Creus: that is the setting. Weather-wise: a tramontane feared around Cap de Creus — the gulf then falls back on its sheltered waters — pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.
Booking at the right moment
The useful season runs from June to September, Cadaqués ideally reached from the sea. Spots go early: book ahead and aim for the morning slot.

Do I need a license?
