Hi! Friends, today I want to recommend a super niche travel destination to everyone - Tossa in Spain! This beautiful village has narrow cobblestone alleys, beautiful boutiques and gourmet restaurants, and is a very suitable place for vacation. First of all, I recommend everyone to go hiking in Cala Llevadors. This trail extends along the coastline to Castillo de Tossa, and you can admire multiple bays and attractions along the way, ending at Codolar Beach. From the cliff, you can overlook the entire sea, the scenery is super spectacular! Walking in the old town, you can see the ruins of the medieval castle wall that once stood here. There are cafes and delicious seafood restaurants in the castle, where you can taste delicious food while admiring the beautiful sea view. In addition, don't miss the two popular photo spots in the town. One is the square stone gate, which is also one of the filming locations of Jeon Ji-hyun's 'Legend of the Blue Sea', and the photo effect is super good! The other is a iron door through the bridge hole, behind the iron door is the blue sea, standing here to take pictures, as if in a fairy tale world. In terms of transportation, it is not far from Barcelona, and it takes about an hour to drive. I suggest everyone to go to Tossa for a day or spend a leisurely weekend, and feel the unique charm of this beautiful village!

Tossa de Mar is a beautiful beach town 1 hour north of Barcelona. It is well known for its castle and wall crowning a beachside hill and descending all the way to the sea level. The town has plenty of options where to stay and where to eat. From typical Spanish food to more international options. And everything is just walking distance from the beach. A perfect getaway for the summer months where to enjoy pristine waters, heritage culture and delicious gastronomy. Tossa de Mar is definitely an awesome beach vacation #beachvacation

I was in Tossa De Mar not a first time and every time it is something new. This time I decided to wake up earlier to see sunrises. It was an amazing experience. Every day sunrises were different. I didn’t regret that I had such experience. It was something new in my life which have never been forgotten. Tossa De Mar is a great place for sunrises. You feel that you wake up together with a nature. For me it not an easy to wake up early but when I do it I am so proud of myself. Waked up at 05.00 AM, sunrise was at 06:17 at that time (the beginning of June). For doing that don’t forget to put something warm on. He-he, the temperature in the morning is a little bit cold and windy. Just in case 😉 There is a small well known hill where Castle is situated and there is an unknown, secret path with a best view ever for the sea, and horizon, and bay, and town. Such sunrises take your breath away….😇😇😇

We were in Barcelona city looking for something different to do so we discover this amazing camping with private beach named “Kampaoh Cala Pola”. We immediately rented a car and drove to there. 😱 It was an experience experience. The price is very reasonable, the people are kind, the “room” is comfortable and the beach is peaceful! Highly recommend! 👏🏻 #summervacation#beachvacation

[Tosa de Mar with a beautiful sea and castle🌊] This is another resort town near Barcelona, ​​Tossa de Mar. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus from Barcelona Signa, and as expected, the town is small enough to tour in a day. And following Sitges, this place was also a filming location for the drama Legend of the Blue Sea, where Lee Min-ho and Jun Ji-hyun ran away on bicycles! While watching the drama, I noticed that the castle walls were so pretty with a medieval feel and the stone walls were so pretty that I decided to visit this place first when planning a trip to Barcelona! 😍 As a tmi, Tossa de Mar means dry sea! I heard that many Europeans also come to Tossa de Mar to enjoy a vacation. When I visited in 2018, many people knew about Sitges, but it seemed like they didn't know about Tossa de Mar. I personally liked the atmosphere of Tossa de Mar better than Sitges. The castle walls were pretty, the view was pretty, and the sea water was much clearer and prettier. That's probably why I enjoyed swimming so much!! As expected, there were some free-spirited Europeans who were running around naked even though it wasn't a nude beach ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Next time, I definitely want to stay in Tossa de Mar for more than 2 nights and relax ☺️ #Barcelona travel #Spain travel #Europe travel #Barcelona #Spain #Tossa de Mar travel #Tossa de Mar #Drama filming location #barcelona #spain #tossademar #small city travel #suburban travel #walking travel #life travel destination #life shot spot #vacation travel

By Bus: Direct Bus: The most straightforward option is to take a direct bus from Barcelona Nord bus station to Tossa de Mar. One hour 30 minutes you will reach there. Here's a more detailed look at what to do in Tossa de Mar: Beaches and Coastal Activities: Platja Gran: The main beach, offering beautiful views of the Vila Vella and a chance to relax and swim. Cala Giverola: A beautiful cove with turquoise waters and fine sand, perfect for swimming and water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. Cala Codolar: A smaller cove ideal for snorkeling. Platja Santa Maria de Llorell: A scenic coastal area with two connected beaches and views over the bay. For Historical and Cultural Sites: Vila Vella (Old Town): Wander through the narrow streets and admire the well-preserved medieval walls and towers of the old town. Castillo de Tossa (Tossa de Mar Castle): Explore the castle, which dates back to the 12th century, and enjoy panoramic views from its ramparts.

Chapel of Our Lady of Socorro: Discover this hidden gem perched on a cliff with stunning sea views.

I made sure to spend some time in the beautiful city of Girona, and as a Game of Thrones fan, it was such a cool experience. The old town of Girona was used as a filming location for several scenes in the series, especially those set in Braavos and King's Landing. Walking through the narrow medieval streets and climbing the stone staircases felt like stepping right into the show. I even found the exact steps where Arya Stark begged while blind. It was surreal seeing it in real life. Aside from Girona, I also got the chance to unwind in Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar, two charming coastal towns along the Costa Brava. Lloret had a livelier, more energetic vibe with beaches, nightlife, and buzzing streets. Tossa felt quieter and more laid back, perfect for relaxing walks along the seaside or exploring the old fortress. Both places offered stunning views and their own unique character. One thing I absolutely loved throughout the trip was the local food. There were loads of great spots serving up delicious seafood and paella, and I made sure to try as many variations as I could. The flavors were fresh and rich. I honestly couldn’t get enough. I also had a surprisingly good steak one evening, cooked to perfection. Whether in the busy center of Girona or by the sea in Tossa, the food never disappointed. What really stood out to me, though, was how friendly and welcoming the people were. Whether I was asking for directions, ordering food, or just chatting with locals, everyone was warm and helpful. It made the trip even more enjoyable and left me with some great memories of the region.#travel #beachlife

Hi, this is @shellysang's [Overseas Travel] channel 📺 - Today marks Day 7 of our Spain trip! Just returned from Barcelona to Madrid~ Yesterday, we visited Tossa.

In my opinion: 💙 Tossa is absolutely worth it! But don’t just copy those Instagram photo spots! This place is meant to be explored at your own pace, freely and leisurely!

If the Costa Brava had a hot mysterious cousin who low-key slays without even trying—it’s Tossa de Mar. This seaside stunner gives “vacation romance meets medieval fantasy” energy, and I’m here for all of it. Picture this: a golden beach hugged by a medieval castle straight out of a fairy tale, with the salty sea breeze tossing your hair like you’re the main character in a Mediterranean rom-com. The Vila Vella (old town) is giving “Pinterest-core,” with cobblestone alleys, bougainvillaea exploding everywhere, and secret little tapas spots that serve food so good you’ll straight-up moan. The water? Crystal clear. The vibe? Chill but make it sexy. The crowd? European hotties and artsy beach babes who all somehow look like they belong in a Zara ad. It’s less “party hard” and more “sip sangria on a terrace while locking eyes with a sun-kissed stranger.” Oh, and the views from the top of the castle? Enough to make your ex weep. Basically, Tossa de Mar is for the girlies (and gents) who want to romanticize their life without the Ibiza chaos. It’s classy. It’s flirty. It’s giving soft luxury. #spain #barcelona #tossademar #softlife #partytime
