Tossa de Mar, pearl of Costa Brava   by Fruzsina Csery

Tossa de Mar Featured Hotels  /  Cataluña Self-Catering/Vacation Rentals

Guidebooks usually say that this place is Spain's Saint Tropez. Undoubtedly, this old settlement is one of the sandy, pebbly Costa Brava's - Wild Beach's - pearl. It was also christened the "Blue Paradise" by painter Marc Chagall. The small town, situated about 60 miles from Barcelona, was a fishermen's settlement long time ago. It has turned to a popular holiday center and has become the focus of tourist attention. I visited it at once, and I'll always wish to get back to the mediterranean dreamland, year by year.

Costa Brava, Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava, Spain
Known to have one of the most scenic landscapes on the "Costa Brava", Tossa has a natural heritage of unbelievable beauty, with unique environment and landscape and a coastline with many beaches and small bays. There are two beaches here, Mar Grand and La Bauma, both with its wonderful surroundings and clear water. In the summer it is so crowded that without a previous reservation, it is not easy to stay here. Tourists flow from all over the world to taste the beauty and untouched character. There are several quality hotels and restaurants to sample here and the nightlife is also quite good here.

The 12th century Old Town still has some kind of intimate medieval ambience and the remains of its Roman Fortress curl protectively round the little old houses which snuggle in its shelter. The modern part of the town offers all the shops, cafés, evening entertainment and other places that can be found in a Mediterranean resort and we can visit them after the siesta. Beaches are excellent for sunbathing and swimming. Tossa de Mar is a very good point which to visit a wide range of interesting places including Montserrat Monastery, the historic town of Girona, the excellent Waterworld theme park and the Olympic city of Barcelona. Tossa, as the residents call this small paradise, will be an unforgettable experience for everyone.
