Holidays to Tossa de Mar

The resort has three sandy beaches. The Platja Gran is 380 metres long and 60 metres wide. To the west of this beach is the medieval castle. The Mar Menuda Beach is on the other side of the bay and is 180 metres long and 20 metres wide. Behind the walls of the castle is the small and very attractive El Codolar beach which measures 33 metres in length and has a width of 27 metres. It has a beach bar, showers and sunbeds.

But Tossa de Mar is not simply a resort. The centre of the town is medieval and has a history going back two thousand years. Ramparts and towers are to be found within the town and to the west side, on Mount Guardi, is the very imposing Castillo de Tossa de Mar which dominates the town and looks out to sea. Until the arrival of tourism, the local economy was based on grapes and cork- fishing was and is a minor contributor. The Governor’s house in the centre is now the municipal museum and houses an important collection of contemporary art.
