No visit to Barcelona could be considered complete without visiting the only completely -surviving walled medieval town along the coast of Catalonia. Tossa de Mar is a fascinating town to explore; you enter through an arched portal which provides access to a wonderfully preserved castle and towers. The old town is full of historic buildings which now house delightful shops, bars and eateries. The Municipal Museum (which is part museum and part art gallery) is well worth a visit. For a break from history and architecture you can soak up some sun on one of the town’s many idyllic beaches and rocky coves or go snorkeling or diving at La Mar Menuda Beach.

Tossa de Mar, 17320, Girona, Spain
