Once a haven for writers and artists, Tossa de Mar is now a favoured holiday destination for families, couples and people from all walks of life who are drawn to this attractive town on the Costa Brava to relax, play, eat, drink and be merry. It’s picturesque cobbled old town, the medieval Vila Vella, is very atmospheric, enabling this resort to retain its historic atmosphere. The beaches are good and sandy, and the town’s position allows for easy access to other coastal resorts and the scenic hinterland for day trips and excursions. Although well supplied with shops, bars and restaurants, Tossa is not designed for all-night revelling.
