Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar, on Catalonia's Costa Brava, is known for its fortified old town, the Vila Vella, whose medieval walls overlook the bay and remain the town's main point of interest. Walking along the ramparts offers views over the sea and the rooftops of the historic centre, where cobbled lanes and old houses are worth exploring both by day and in the evening. Right beneath the fortifications, the cocktail bar El Pena makes the most of its position along the wall, offering a pleasant spot overlooking the sea. For a bite to eat, pizzeria Anna, at La Terrazza, is one of the well-liked spots in the town centre. Tossa de Mar is also known for its beaches, particularly the main one in the centre, lively throughout the day and into the evening, as well as for the surrounding coves such as Cala Pola, a quieter, pine-fringed spot reachable on foot or by boat. The surrounding area also lends itself to 4x4 excursions, offering a different perspective on the coastline and hinterland. Combining medieval heritage, a seaside atmosphere and coastal nature, the destination brings together several features typical of the Costa Brava.
