Description: The town of Roses, and the Gulf of Roses (Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain), seen from Puig d'en Massot. At the foot of the hill, between the hillslope and the built-up area of Roses, are extensive olive groves. Some of the trees here are "centuries-old" (naturalocal.net/en/routes-trekking-catalunya/routes-trekking-girona/routes-trekking-roses/olive-groves-roses). When harvested, some of the olives from these groves are taken to a press known as the "Molí d'oli d'en Jordà" (or "Trull Jordà" - www.facebook.com/trull.jorda), located in the Plaça de l'Església in the centre of Roses, where the olives are crushed to produce olive oil.
