tango_jd Says: Tossa old town lies behind the old town walls which have lots of little paths and walkways to explore. Hidden amongst these are little cottage-style houses and a few restaurants.Tossa de Mar was first brought to the outside world in the fifties when it was picked as the set...
raquelitalarga Says: We found a statue of a beautiful woman in evening dress overlooking the town with no plaque. I have since done some research and found out it is named 'Pandora'and was put there in 2008. In the 1950's Hollywood came to Tossa! James Mason and Ava Gardner filmed "Pandora and...
raquelitalarga Says: The town was once reliant on fishing and even now many residents take their small boats out in the morning and evening. It's fascinating to watch (mostly old men) preparing the boat, getting it to the water's edge and then spot their lights bobbing offshore at dusk . Once we...
The Old Town's fortified walls
raquelitalarga Says: My partner suffers from vertigo so I didn't get to walk along the wall and enjoy the stunning view for as long as I would have liked!! To be fair the railings are low and you would have to watch little ones like a hawk. What I liked most is the opportunity to peek onto...
edwis Says: PHOTOS FROM OUR STAY IN TOSSA........ We had to park our Citroen C3 about 10 blocks away from the hotel in a newer residential section. Tossa has maintained its Spanish identity by allowing no Hiltons, no MacDonald’s, no corporate chain operations in the inner town. We loved...

Can Pol: Fantastic cooking and value near the fort
spacehopper Says: Fantastic lunchtime deals at this very friendly restaurant. 14.90 euros for the Menu del Dia which is a bit more than what you pay at the places surrounding the beach but the quality and freshness of the food is worth it.For that you get 3 courses including wine, water and...
raquelitalarga Says: Cim i Tomba is offered on several menus. It's a fish and potato stew and there was a special event planned just after we were due to leave...restaurants competing to make the best version of this dish! I didn't get to try it as it's a dish for two. We had an excellent paella...
edwis Says: PHOTOS FROM OUR STAY IN TOSSA........ Prices were reasonable, and the local wines were a pleasure to drink. We found having a ½ litre with lunch and full litre with dinner just perfect for us. There are lots of artesian pizza places, tapas cafes and gift shops. Why are the...
janey2 Says: There were only two nightclubs open when we visited. My eldest daughter and her husband went one night and although it was free to get in the drinks were three times the price. No other english were there only the local spanish youngsters. I would imagine it would be more...
tango_jd Says: I think there are two nightclubs only - and didn't seem to be the Ibiza-types.If you are into nightlife then Tossa is centred on quiet bars and restaurants.(One mini golf and one "ten-pin bowling" alley - bars really!)
raquelitalarga Says: Ryanair users may be aware that the airport you fly into is much nearer to Girona than Barcelona. We did think about spending a day in this city before heading to Tossa but the connections to Girona were surprisingly poor (2/3 a day). So we decided to catch a more frequent...
gale.blog.pl Says: One can get to Tossa by bus - PUJOL buses run here quite often. Upon arrival to Tossa you'll be able to use the toilet in the bus station - that's the most valuable part of this tip ;-)
Tossa is a typical tourist oriented town so here you'll be able to purchase all sorts of more or less ugly articles sold solely to tourists.
In this picture you can see several bottles of sangria, all of them 'attractively' shaped and less attractively priced. To be purchased in numerous shops around Tossa.

I think that it's a local custom (of tourists) to play a fool with sculptures located on the castle way. I hope that I didn't offend anyone with my stupid jokes...

Pauldelabar Says: I know that one of the high priorities on many peoples minds is to get in the Sun as fast as they can and for as long as they can to get a tan to be proud of when they return home. But.........BEWARE OF THE SUN !If you are fair skinned or even if not, USE Sun protection...
janey2 Says: The nearest weekend to the 24th of June celebrates San Juan, local children are able to purchase fireworks and then they set them off where ever they fancy. A few of them were actually throwing the fireworks which was a bit frightening as we had young children in buggies.
Helpfulness
Those of you who visit my pages more often than once a year know that I especially adore narrow passages, magical tiny streets. I found them in sunny Tossa de Mar :-)

I only had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours in Tossa de Mar. Fortunately I was there off-season so there were no crowds in the city. Tossa is a lovely small place on Catalonyan coast....
