Description
Tossa de Mar offers a journey through time, from prehistoric remains to its Roman past as Turissa, and from medieval Tursa to a modern town shaped by artists and visitors.
The tour includes a walk along the Vila Vella’s fortified walls, declared a national historical and artistic monument in 1931. These crenellated walls, built in the early 13th century to defend against pirate attacks, are the only preserved medieval fortifications on the Catalan coast.
You will also explore the Caminos de Ronda, ancient coastal smuggling routes spanning the Costa Brava from Portbou to Blanes.
Next, stroll through Sa Roqueta, Tossa’s old fishing quarter, notable for its narrow streets, small shops, and Mediterranean-style whitewashed houses that reflect the town’s 16th-century expansion beyond the walls.
After the guided visit, consider trying 'cim i tomba,' a local seafood dish, during your free afternoon at the beach or shopping before heading back to Girona.
