Tossa de Mar: Mediterranean Charm and Historic Walls
Just 45 minutes from Calella
Tossa de Mar is one of the most picturesque spots on the Costa Brava and a perfect destination for a day trip from Hotel Bernat II. Located just 45 minutes by car, this charming village combines stunning beaches, history, and a Mediterranean atmosphere that will captivate you.
What to Do in Tossa de Mar
Vila Vella, the medieval old town surrounded by imposing walls, is the heart of Tossa de Mar. Stroll through its narrow cobblestone streets, discover stone houses, and enjoy breathtaking views of the sea from the towers of the walls. This historical complex is the only one of its kind still preserved on the Catalan coast.
If you’re looking to relax, Tossa’s beaches are ideal. Platja Gran, right next to Vila Vella, is perfect for a day of sun and sea. For something more peaceful, explore small coves like Cala Pola or Cala Giverola, where nature is at its best.
Additionally, Tossa has a close connection with art. During the 20th century, artists like Marc Chagall were inspired by its beauty. Today, you can visit the Municipal Museum of Tossa de Mar, which houses artwork and Roman archaeological pieces, such as the remains of the ancient villa of Els Ametllers.
