Tossa de Mar

Guide to the Municipalities

Tossa is located within the natural space of the massif of Cadiretes, valuable due to the coexistence of Mediterranean and Atlantic flora and ideal for taking walks or following mountain bike routes, passing by the megalithic remains.

The beaches that surround the town to the north and south are excellent, some due to the quality of the services on offer and others due to the almost virgin environment. The municipality’s heritage includes Roman remains, Modernista buildings and airs of avant-garde artistic bohemia.

Hollywood diva Ava Gardner walked on the granular sand of Gran beach in 1950 to film Pandora and the Flying Dutchman. That might be reason enough for film fans to come and explore the municipality.
