Hostal El Roser is in L'Escala
L'Escala is the seaside village of the Costa Brava worldwide well-known for its anchovies. Several producers of different levels crafts, sell their major production manufactured in the village itself and its surroundings.
L'Escala emerged in the XVIth century as a small fishing port between the beaches of Empúries and Riells as dependent village of the city of Empúries, formerly occupied by the Romans and Greeks. The town's name comes from the place name Scala, the old name used to designate the port itself. In 1766 l'Escala gets its status as an independent village and became the province capital because of its important maritime customs, and their exporting importance of wine and salted fish.
In the XIXth century l'Escala still holds an economy based on fishing and the wine, until a new phenomenon appears in the region: tourism. Since the beginning of 1960, we find many visitors captivated by the beauty of L'Escala, beaches, culture and traditions.
The specialty of the town are the anchovies with bread and tomato, a very nice toast consisting on applying Ampurdán tomato over the bread and also some salted anchovy fillets. Each September is celebrated the the anchovies day, when banquets with this popular exquisite typical fish are organized in a popular way.
L'Escala has the most important archaeological museum in Catalonia. Around it you find the ruins of Ampurias, an archaeological site of first importance on Greek and Roman cultures.
Another of the attractions of L'Escala is the marine cemetery, close to the seaside boulevard (you can walk along it through the beaches of the village and encounter the Monument dedicated to the Sailors). Located behind the Nieves Mar Hotel, a few meters from the sea, this unique cemetery keeps the tomb of one of the most international women writers of Catalan literature: Caterina Albert, who signed in the nineteenth century under the pseudonym Victor Català, because of prejudices of her time.
In the center of l'Escala there is its old town and, near the Puig del Pedró (a little mound), you can still find a watchtower against piracy, from which the whole bay of Roses is seen, with the Pyrenees behind in the background.

The staff were friendly and the location was OK. It was inexpensive and there was somewhere to park which was gratefully received. The travel book said that this hotel was on the beach - it wasn't anywhere near! However, the family owned resturant, with the same name, is beside the sea but it is not on the beach either. The sea side resturant is lovely but the actual hotel lets the side down. It was very basic, a bit poor looking and in need of investment. Also, because the rooms were above a kitchen they smelt of cooking rather more than we would have liked. It was OK for a place to put one's head for a cheap stopover. It seems that the family have invested in the resturant by the sea but neglected the hotel itself. |

The hotel is basic but clean, well located (you can go to Empuries and St Marti the Empuries in 30 minutes) and cheap (we payed 42 euros for double room). The staff is very nice and what we really liked - they give you residence card and with this card you pay only 1 euro fot the parking for the whole day. Don´t go there if you look for sth luxurious. |

C'est le fils du fondateur de l'établissement qui tient aujourd'hui la maison...et les fourneaux. Pour moi, qui fréquente le coin depuis 50 ans (j'étais , avec mes parents, dans cet hôtel quand il a ouvert...et nous lui sommes restés fidèles tant que les vacances ont été familiales ), assurément une des meilleures tables de L'Escala et un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Et des gens charmants... 9€ un petit dejeuner plutôt dissuasif |

Som persones de gustos senzills, preferim la calidesa en el tracte al luxe en les instal·acions. L'Hostal el Rose complia els nostres requisits: senzillesa, netedat, confort i caliu. Potser s'hauria de millorar una mica la decoració, no parlem de luxe, sinó per augmentar el con- fort i el caliu |

Het ligt centraal om omliggende middeleeuwse plaatsjes te bezoeken, de stad Girone en het museum van Dali in Figueras. Personeel erg aardig. De plaats l'Escala is niet interessant en 's nachts erg veel lawaai van de vrachtautos van de vuilnisophaal. |

Chambre vieillotte et pas très propre (en marchant pieds-nus, on sentait des petites protubérances sous les pieds et on se les salissait -la chambre n'avait pas été aspirée, balayée. J'avais demandé une chambre au calme et elle ne l'était pas. Personnel peu disponible. |

Légkondis, kényelmes, tiszta szobák, segítőkész személyzet, közel mindkét tengerparthoz. Olcsó, egész napos parkolás a város bármely pontján. -------------------------------------- Air-conditionned, comfortable, clean room, helpful staff, close to both beaches. Cheap, full-day parking in any part of the city. A recepció csak reggel 8:30-tól nyit, előtte esélyed sincs leadni a cuccokat, ha sietsz, akkor is várnod kell. ---------------------------------------- The reception opens only at 8:30 mornings, if you want to leave earlier you have no chance to check out. |

El sitio me ha gustado mucho. La habitación confortable sin lujos. El personal atento. Quizás lo mas destacable es que hacen la limpieza y te cambían las toallas cada día, sin escatimar en nada si necesitas algo más. El personal muy agradable. Que quizás debido al restaurante, en nuestra habitación se oían los extractores durante toda la noche. Fuese la hora que fuese. Quizás deberían prestar más atención a ese aspecto. |
