Description

Meet your guide at Barcelona Nord bus station and relax during the 1.5-hour scenic bus ride to Tossa de Mar, equipped with free Wi-Fi. Upon arrival, join a guided walking tour tracing the fortified town perimeter up to the lighthouse, offering coastal views.

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.

In the late afternoon, return by bus to Barcelona Nord, concluding the tour.
