Costa Brava - Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar is one of the prettiest resorts on Spains Costa Brava. Here you can have quite a relaxing holiday as its not exactly known for its nightlife, although there are many very good bars and restaurants.It has a very nice shopping area which winds down to the busy sea front from the town centre near the bus station.

To see the best views you must go up to the castle and view the town from the castle walls and pathways. To reach the castle there's a small train which will take you up to the top as it could be quite a difficult walk for the elderly.

Costa Brava - Tossa de Mar

Views from Tossa de Mar. Just a 20 minute bus journey up the road from the very lively resort of Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava is a totally different resort. This small town is very quiet with hardly any disco's or nightclubs. Although there are quite a few bars, entertainment is usually found in the hotels, and not on the streets! Which makes quite a change these days, with the bad press which some European resorts are getting this year.

Tossa has been able to keep its 'small town charm'...and with the shopping area at the back of the resort and weekly market- held on Thursdays, long beach and historic castle it is still a good choice for a family holiday.

 

Costa Brava - Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar is a small town on the Costa Brava, just like any other with hotels, bars, cafes and restaurants,
but Tossa has a very different part to the town hidden away by the castle walls.
The photo above shows just one of the tiny narrow streets which lie behind these walls...its just like stepping back in time!!
