Tossa is a true open-air museum. Its prehistoric remains give way to a Roman Turissa, a medieval Tursa, and a modern Tossa that first became a refuge for artists and intellectuals and later a generous host for tourists and visitors.

We'll walk along a wall with more than eight centuries of history. Declared a national historical and artistic monument in 1931, the walled complex of the Vila Vella is the emblem of the municipality. It is currently the only example of a fortified medieval town that still exists on the Catalan coast. Built at the beginning of the 13th century to protect the town from pirate attacks, it retains almost all of its original perimeter area, with crenellated walls.

We'll discover the ancient smuggling routes, the Caminos de Ronda. These are seaside trails that run along the Costa Brava coastline from Portbou to Blanes.

We'll take a stroll through the old fishing quarter. The traditional neighborhood of Sa Roqueta, with its humble houses and flower-filled corners, is the result of the town's expansion beyond the walls in the 16th century. Today it is a shopping area, full of small shops among its narrow streets and whitewashed houses typical of the Mediterranean.

After this guided visit, if you're interested in cuisine, try the “cim i tomba”, Tossa's most seafood-heavy dish.

Enjoy the beach or shop in the free time we have left before returning to Girona.

A day full of excitement to enjoy history, the beach, and shopping in a dream-like place!
