Roses, Spain. Roman anchor, re-wooded,at the beachThe Financial Times has a fine Food and Drink section. It features a restaurant near Roses this time, issue December 1-December 2, 2012, this long after our return: The place is the family-owned Almadraba Park Hotel: Jordi Subiros and his father, Jaume. Jaume Subiros or a different? Not clear on Spanish naming.
We missed it -- staying instead last-minute and grateful, at the venerable, courteous and helpful Hostal Rom. This was a crowded, hot weekend (and that was fine, too, although our two rooms, one bed each, did not have an ensuite bathroom: each did, however, have a sole-user lockable bathroom down the hall; the price was right). Had we known of the Almadraba, we might have ventured out of town to eat, where all was booked, to find it. You can find it at http://www.almadrabapark.com/index.php?idm=3. Then again, we had an excellent parking space and would have lost it if we went wandering.
Does the Rom, where we stayed, have any connection to Roma?
