The city
Coastal village on the Costa Brava, in the comarca da Selva, about 90 km from Barcelona by road. The postcard view is the Vila Vella, a medieval walled enclosure on the cabo de Tossa, with round towers and a lighthouse on top. At the foot of the walls is the Platja Gran, a beach of coarse pinkish sand. In the 1930s the village attracted painters such as Marc Chagall. Catalan and Spanish are spoken.

Tossa's main beach, with 381 meters of coarse pink sand, framed by the cape and the walls of the Vila Vella. It has a promenade with restaurants, lifeguards in season and glass-bottom boats.
