When your beach day in Roses rolls into golden hour, nothing beats unwinding with Sunset Cocktails & Tapas at the Xiringuito. This beach-bar hub at Camping Salatà blends sea-breeze ambiance with weekly happenings—like the live Flamenco show every Saturday at 8 p.m.—so you can turn a simple drink-and-bite into a perfect seaside evening. In this guide, learn when to go, what to expect, and how to pair your Xiringuito plans with on-site activities for a relaxed, flavor-forward night.
Why the Xiringuito is your go-to beach bar at Camping Salatà
Camping Salatà sits in Roses on the Costa Brava, close to a fine-sand beach with shallow waters—an ideal setting for easygoing days and breezy nights. The Xiringuito beach bar opens for the season on 1 April at 10 a.m., making it a natural gathering point throughout spring, summer, and autumn.
What sets it apart is how it anchors the campsite’s social rhythm:
- Saturday Flamenco (8:00 p.m.) brings live rhythm and color to the shore.
- Weekday Wellness (Mon–Fri, 10:00 a.m.) at the Xiringuito adds a mindful start to your day.
- Friday Musical Bingo (8:00 p.m.) keeps evenings playful and social.
- Sunday Welcome Drink (5:00 p.m.) makes arrivals feel like a celebration.
Beyond events, the wider resort is designed for comfort and access: it’s family-friendly and describes itself as an accessible campsite for everyone. If you’re traveling with children, you’ll also meet Salatina, the campsite’s mascot who leads activities for the little ones during the season.

Pro tip: For popular evenings—especially the Saturday Flamenco—arrive a little early to settle in before the show begins. If you love a swim first, all pools (including the heated main pool, the children’s pool with slide, and the hydromassage zone) are open from the end of March until November, letting you flow from pool time to beach-bar time.
What to expect on the menu
Think casual beach-bar snacks and refreshing drinks—the kind of unfussy, shareable bites that keep conversation going while you watch the light change. Camping Salatà lists both a bar with snacks and a restaurant on site, plus takeaway food if you prefer a picnic on the sand. At the Xiringuito itself, the vibe is relaxed and social—ideal for a tapas-style approach where you mix and match small plates and sip something cool while you unwind.
Cocktails, mocktails, and low-alcohol sips
Warm coastal evenings pair beautifully with crisp, citrus-forward drinks. Whether you choose a classic cocktail, a low-alcohol spritz, or a zero-proof mocktail, reach for bright, refreshing flavors that balance salty or savory bites. Stay hydrated by alternating water with your drink of choice—it keeps your palate fresh and your evening comfortable.
