From Barcelona: Tossa de Mar Day Tour with Beach Time

Start with pickup from the Barcelona Nord bus station and relax on board a comfortable bus that has free wi-fi. Take in the scenic countryside of Spain on the 1.5-hour ride to ossa de Mar, which is considered the pearl of Costa Brava due to its unique landscapes and history.

Start with a guided walking tour that follows the fortified perimeter of the town and goes up to the lighthouse on the top of the town. Admire stunning views from the coastline.

When descending, go through the narrow streets and stone houses of Vila Vella (the old town) until the charming fishing district is reached. After your guided walking tour, have free time to enjoy the beaches.

Have the chance to explore the traditional fishing neighborhood, known as Sa Roqueta, which still maintains the sailor atmosphere of these typical villages on Costa Brava. Venture to the three beaches in the town's urban center.

Spend your free time at La Playa Grande, the most central and extensive beach which was classified as one of the 25 most beautiful beaches in the world by the National Geographic magazine in 2013 and which frequently tops the ranking of the most photographed beaches in Spain on Instagram.

Stroll to La Playa de la Mar Menuda, a little further away, this beach provides hourly rental services for kayaks, paddleboarding, and surfing, as well as the option to go snorkeling. It is a shallower beach with calmer waters.

Make time for the beach called La Playa d´es Codolar, which is close to the Old Town, and is undoubtedly the best representation of Costa Brava’s typical “cala” (a small beach cove that is nestled between cliffs).

Purchase a tasty lunch in this town that features varied and rich cuisines at its fine restaurants. Choose a spot with a wonderful terrace facing the sea, a charming spot in the fishermen’s neighborhood, or a traditional place in the Old Town.

In the late afternoon, end your tour and make the bus journey back to your meeting point in Barcelona while reflecting on your unforgettable day in Tossa de Mar.
