Tossa de Mar - Costa Brava - History and Information -
One of the prettiest of the Costa Brava ("Wild Coast") resorts of northern Spain, Tossa de Mar still has the remains of its medieval walled village (Vila Vella) which has stood guard over the bay for some 800 years. Even earlier than this the town was the location of a 2nd Century Roman Villa called Turissa and it is from this Villa that Tossa de Mar derived its name.
The 12th Century walled old town stands proudly on the southern headland and hangs onto its medieval charm, with quaint cobbled streets and charming stone houses adorned with pretty flower boxes.
Tossa de Mar was one of the first Costa Brava towns to appeal to foreign visitors and among the early visitors was the famous painter Marc Chagall who came to Tossa de Mar in 1934 and stayed for the entire summer, Chagall was enchanted by the town and called it his "blue paradise". The only Chagall painting in Spain is on show in the Municipal Museum (Municipal Musea de la Villa Vella) and is called "The Celestial Violinist".
Tossa de Mar holds its weekly market on Thursdays and this is a great place to stock up on gifts and fresh produce. Tossa de Mar has a good selection of bars and restaurants and as you would expect seafood is the speciality of the day in most of them, try out some of the Costa Brava specialities such as "suquet" (fish casserole) or "simitoba" (fish in garlic sauce). The nightlife is a little more reserved in Tossa de Mar which suits most visitors but the younger set and those seeking fun and the bright lights might prefer to head for the better known Lloret de Mar located some 13 kilometres south of Tossa.
Tossa de Mar of course celebrates many fiestas and festivals throughout the year and these include "The Pilgrim of Tossa" held in January and the feast of Sant Pere in June, it is also famous for its Tossa de Mar International Quick Painting Contest held in August and attrating artists who attempt to paint a scene of the Vila Vella in just one day. There is also a music festival which is held in August.
Tossa de Mar has 3 main beaches (2 of them have "Blue Flag" status), though there are a number of sheltered coves with smaller beaches in the area. The main beaches are Platje Gran, Mar Menuda and the tiny Els Cadolar ("Stoney Place") which is popular with snorkelers. Water sports are also popular in Tossa de Mar and these include water-skiing, windsurfing, jet-skiing and snorkeling.
Tossa de Mar is located on the winding GI-682 coast road between Lloret de Mar and Sant Feliu, and is about 13 kilometres north of Lloret. Tossa de Mar can be reached from at least 3 airports though the closest is Girona which is 41 kilometres away and takes about 55 minutes. Nearby resorts include Blanes, Lloret de Mar and Calella.
