Tossa de Mar is one of the most dramatic villages in Costa Brava, with its main beach crowned in one end by the medieval enclosure, surrounded by imposing medieval towers: it is the only seaside town that has preserved its medieval fortifications in Catalonia.

You’ll love walking down the cobble-stoned streets of the Old Town, where still nowadays people leaves. Ava Gardner was here shooting a movie, and Sinatra came quickly when he heard rumors of her having an affair with a bullfighter…

Before lunch there is time to walk around the village, or if you have the stamina, climb the hill up to the defense towers that once protected the locals from the pirates. The view over the bay is worth the walk.
