Health Tips for Tourists in Roses
Roses is a destination for active travellers. These tips can help you stay healthy and respond quickly when something goes wrong.
Dry your ears after every dive
After snorkelling or diving, tilt your head to each side to drain water. Avoid cotton buds — they push debris deeper. If pain develops, consult us online before your next dive: diving with infected ears can cause serious damage.
Wear proper footwear for Cap de Creus
The Cap de Creus headland is spectacular but rocky and uneven. Ankle sprains and cuts are common. Wear proper hiking shoes — not flip-flops — and carry a small first aid kit on longer trails.
Jellyfish season in the bay
Jellyfish (medusas) appear in the Badia de Roses from June to September. Most stings cause local pain and redness — treatable with cold water rinse and a cold pack. Consult us if reactions spread or breathing difficulty develops.
Sun protection on exposed headlands
Cap de Creus and the Badia beaches offer very little shade. Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen every 2 hours, wear a hat, and avoid peak sun (noon–4pm) on full-day excursions. Wind off the Tramuntana can make the UV feel less intense than it is.
UTI prevention after swimming
Prolonged time in seawater and damp swimwear increases UTI risk, especially in women. Change out of wet swimwear promptly, stay hydrated, and consult us online if you develop burning or urinary urgency — treatment is quick and easy remotely.
