The seaside town of Tossa de Mar is one of Costa Brava’s most enchanting destinations, combining golden beaches, clear blue waters, and a beautifully preserved medieval fortress overlooking the sea. Once a fishing village, Tossa de Mar is now a peaceful escape for travelers who enjoy history, nature, and coastal beauty.
