Descend through narrow streets and stone houses of Vila Vella, the Old Town, arriving at the traditional fishermen’s neighborhood, Sa Roqueta, which preserves the town’s maritime heritage. After the tour, enjoy free time to explore Tossa de Mar's three main beaches.
La Playa Grande, centrally located, is a large beach named among the world’s 25 most beautiful by National Geographic in 2013 and frequently one of Spain’s most photographed beaches. Nearby, La Playa de la Mar Menuda offers rental options for kayaks, paddleboards, surfing, and snorkeling in its calm, shallow waters. La Playa d’es Codolar, close to the Old Town, represents a classic Costa Brava “cala,” a small beach nestled between cliffs.
Take the opportunity to purchase lunch at local restaurants offering varied cuisine, whether on a sea-facing terrace, in the fishermen’s district, or in the Old Town.
