Holidays to Tossa de Mar and its many beaches check off all the highlights of a classic Costa Brava getaway.
Town with a past
Tossa de Mar's an authentic Catalan coastal town with traditional stone homes, an impressive castle and a winding cobbled district. Only a 90-minute drive from Barcelona, this Spanish seaside spot's also right at the foot of Massis de Cadiretes – a forested mountain region that's great for hiking.
Coastal hotspots
Barcelona's a 90-minute drive south and a must-see for any trip to the Costa Brava. If you're not enticed by the big city sights, perhaps you'd prefer something more au naturel – drive 90 minutes in the opposite direction and you'll come to the Pyrenean mountain region near the French border.
