Overview
Tossa de Mar is one of the few towns on the Costa Brava where the medieval walls still stand above the sea. You arrive by private transfer from Barcelona, about an hour and a half along the coast. The Vila Vella, the old fortified town, climbs a rocky headland: narrow streets, stone towers, and views that open up as you walk higher. Below it, clear water meets a crescent beach. The town keeps a human scale: small restaurants along the waterfront, a market on the square, fishermen's paths that lead to quieter coves beyond the main bay. Your guide takes you through the history and the corners that most visitors walk past.
