Don't miss the Villa Vella (Old Town), with its ancient defence walls and towers. The walled enclosure is the only surviving example of a fortified medieval town on the Catalan coast. Less than a kilometre away is the Sa Riera Park, a man-made nature reserve with a Mediterranean forest, river and lake. Catch the museum for its archaeology and modern art, or take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat.
Slightly further afield, families on holidays to Tossa de Mar will enjoy the thrills of Europe's biggest water park, or Marineland, a short drive south down the coast.
Up by the castle, it's strictly no high-rise buildings, so you can enjoy unspoilt views over Tossa's mountainous hinterland with its lush green valleys, and natural springs. With so much beautiful coastline, beaches are likely to be a highlight of your Tossa de Mar holidays.
Platja Gran is the main beach in the heart of Tossa. Set in an attractive horseshoe bay, it's large and sandy with plenty of facilities, and a consistent winner of the European Blue Flag. The nearby Mar Menuda beach is equally well-served, and if you fancy a change from both, Tossa has no fewer than 16 other beaches and small coves.
