Full Tour Description
After about one and a half hour drive on a AC Minivan, we will arrive to Tossa de Mar, located in the heart of Costa Brava. We will get ready and start hiking across the famous “Camí de Ronda” coastline path. This trail connects all Costa Brava towns from north to south. Camí de Ronda will bring you to areas of great natural beauty that you never imagined finding here. From here we will enjoy unique views: the beautiful mediterranean sea, breathtaking cliffs hanging over the sea and small hidden coves, where we will have free time to swim in its transparent waters sunbathe and enjoy its peace. Fragances of pine trees, rosemary and thyme will follow us along the way.
The Camí de Ronda will bring us back to the Tossa de Mar where we will have some free time to have lunch (we can book a traditional local restaurant for you).
After lunch we will have the chance to visit Tossa de Mar, an ancient fishermen’s village with an important historical background. We will walk around the emblematic Vila Vella or old town, the sole remaining fortified medieval town on the catalan coast dating from 13th century, which remains in great state of conservation. Behind the impressive city walls and defensive towers we will find a labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys surrounded by beautiful white houses that gives the town a true mediterranean atmosphere..
