Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar is best known within Catalonia for Vila Vella, its 12th-century walled old town on the Costa Brava. Set on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, the town curves around Platja Gran, while the headland’s defensive walls and towers recall an era when coastal settlements required protection from raids at sea. Within the enclosure, narrow lanes pass whitewashed houses and the ruins of the old Sant Vicenç church; beyond it, the newer town reaches along coves backed by wooded hills. Tossa gained international attention when Ava Gardner filmed Pandora and the Flying Dutchman here in 1950.
