A ride on the Rosas Express is one of the children's favorite excursions every year. You can enjoy a great view of the bay of Rosas, the cliffs and small bays and you get to know Rosas in a different way. The typical whistle, the explanations in German, English, French and Spanish, as well as the friendly staff complete the tour!

Fantastic experience:
All very good, an impressive excursion and the staff very attentive. Of all the routes that they offer, I personally recommend the Jòncols route, it is the most expensive but also the longest and it is well worth the views and the coves through which the train passes, it runs through a part of the Cap de Creus natural park.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
We have been able to enjoy with my wife and our son the magnificent excursion to Puig Alt. 2 hours on the tourist train with stunning views of the Cap de Creus Natural Park, the sea, the mountains ... The value for money is excellent and we have tasted sweet wine and pasta at the stop they make at the summit of Puig Alt. The staff is very friendly and professional, we have felt at home. I also recommend the excursion they offer to Joncols and the coves. A hug to the whole team.

Hello on this day of 20.04.2022 I recommend the tourist circuit at 25 € or 2h30 to do absolutely.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
The Puig Alt course is worth the detour, the driver was very friendly with a lot of humor, I like people who take pride in their work and do it well. I found the jingle very funny and made the little ones who were with us on the train laugh (and some adults too!). I had booked online for the first time and the course was canceled due to rain and I was reimbursed very easily. lady at the reception very friendly!
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
The truth is that better than I expected, a very pleasant and entertaining visit, especially to do with children. We have done the falconera route.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A little train different from the others, this one goes off track depending on the chosen route. The owner is at your service and very friendly, with itineraries that allow you to visit the most beautiful places in Roses and its surroundings. Journey from 1 hour to 2:30 hours. Price 10 euros adults and 7 euros children under 13 years old. The driver is serious, careful and a pilot. Dogs are accepted. To do without hesitation.

Brilliant! The children have loved it.

Fantastic experience:
Very nice views, it is worth the walk. I chose 2 hours through the coves and Cap Roig, a very dusty route ... Do not make plans immediately after without going through the shower first, I would repeat without hesitation
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Start from the beach, from the tourist center every half hour - an hour. 2 trailers and a (auto) locomotive. First along the waterfront, past hotels, restaurants and other beauties. At this time, a photographer flies into the trailers and captures everyone who is there on the camera. And then along a steep serpentine up, up, up ... Some sections of the road cause a completely understandable rush of adrenaline ... At some of the most interesting viewpoints and at the very top of the rise, high above the sea, the train stops, allowing passengers to get out of the cars and, squealing with delight, photograph the opening beauty and yourself - loved ones. And then just as extreme down, but on a different road. Shortly before the finish line, a photographer reappears, offering your finished photos: those who wish can purchase. The entertainment is worth the money and the time spent. Recommended!

Fantastic experience:
We did the Joncols route and it is very beautiful and enjoyable, especially not to be very well dressed and take sunglasses to protect yourself from the sand dust that you swallow most of the way, but it is worth the excursion of about 2 hours. Stops included

Fantastic experience:
Nice tours. Ways the "average consumer," if at all, would find it difficult. And also ways that "normal petrol consumers" should not drive at all. Very worthwhile.
Translated from Deutsch
Fantastic experience:
If you are resting in the forest, be sure to ride on this train, it’s only worth it, put on glasses to protect your eyes from dust, after this route you definitely need to shower, get covered with dust instantly, since the train goes partly along a mountain dirt road. But the views are amazing! At the top, the engine will make a stop so that all passengers can climb to the observation deck. From there, a view of the whole of Roses and the surrounding area. I also recommend taking some kind of sweatshirt with you, since it will be cool on the hills especially on a non-hot day, it will be nice to blow wind on a hot day. The steam engine will pass along narrow mountain trails, somewhere even near a cliff, but there is no need to be afraid, an experienced driver driving several thousand tourists, although I initially felt a little uneasy. When buying a ticket they will give you a branded bag, and before leaving you will be photographed by a professional photographer, so that at the end of the trip to hand you your photos in a beautiful booklet, you only need to pay 3 euros for one photo or 5 euros for two, sort of like that, but I could be wrong, since we refused the photo.

At the start, we might say to ourselves that it's expensive, and we take the one hour circuit because two hours will be a long time ... but nay, the train goes into the mountains and the view is breathtaking ! We never tire of the landscapes or the jingle for directions (in 5 languages) ...

Superb experience! It is not at all a small tourist train like the others, here we are talking about a real train with big wheels that goes into the mountains! It was great, there are different routes for all budgets. We realized the cheapest but we have already found it exceptional so I dare not imagine the others. We went to the natural park, the mountain and had breathtaking panoramic views! Mandatory detour when you are in Roses.

Hello, we had made several circuits and we have just made that of Puig Alt. Frankly, it is the most beautiful with a 360 ° panoramic view at the top, at an altitude of 498 m. The landscape is breathtaking. Plus, you have a snack at the top. Do not hesitate, do it.

Fantastic experience:
Spectacular journey on this train, both if you go with children or if you go alone, the route is along the coast until past the castle, which begins the climb up the mountain of roses, ending in a viewpoint, from where there are spectacular and beautiful views You can also do this journey by car or on foot, but the charm of the train is different, it is worth doing if you are in Roses for a few days
