Roses has no train station; the closest rail is the Figueres-Vilafant AVE high-speed station 18 km west and the Renfe regional at Figueres central. The Moventis bus (formerly Sarfa) runs the Figueres-Roses-Cadaqués corridor multiple times a day in summer and four to six times a day in winter, with a clear small-pet-in-carrier policy. Once in the village, the casc antic, the Passeig Marítim and the Ciutadella exterior are all walkable on a leash. The nearest airports are Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) 50 min south-west and Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) 1 h 45 south on the AP-7 motorway.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Roses with a dog if I don`t have a car?

Two options. From Barcelona: take the AVE high-speed train to Figueres-Vilafant (55 min), then taxi or Moventis bus 18 km east to Roses. From Girona: take the Moventis bus via Figueres to Roses (1 h 30). Small dogs in carriers travel free on both rail and bus; larger dogs are accepted on Renfe under the 2025 trial at 25 percent of the fare, on the bus at the driver`s discretion.

Can I take a Cap de Creus boat trip from Roses with a dog?

Creuers Mar Bonita and similar operators run summer trips from Roses harbour up the Cap de Creus coast to Cala Joncols and on to Cadaqués; pet policy varies by operator and season, call ahead to verify. The harbour boarding pontoon is leashed-dog friendly, but a refusal at the gangplank in high season is possible without a booking confirmation.
