About Tossa de Mar
Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava is one of the most picturesque coastal towns in Spain and was referred to by Marc Chagall as the "blue paradise." The medieval old town Vila Vella sits atop a rocky cliff overlooking the turquoise Mediterranean — the only fortified medieval town along the entire Catalan coast. The sheltered bays with crystal-clear water, the pine forests, and the lively old town make Tossa a gem between Barcelona and the wildness of the northern Costa Brava.
