A day in Tossa de Mar

The laid back town of Tossa de Mar is only a short but interesting 20 minute bus journey from Lloret de Mar, just take the bus from Lloret bus station or alternately you could get the boat from Lloret or Fenals beach. Views of the coast from the road or the boat are amazing! As you arrive at Tossa de Mar by bus you will find yourself in the centre of the town....a very nice shopping area, but if you really want to see the picturesque part of Tossa then you need to make your way to the seafront and then upto the walls of the medieval village which is still lived in today!

A DAY IN TOSSA

A day out from Lloret.

Taking it easy in the gardens!

In Lloret yesterday it was a very nice 25c by far the warmest day of this year so far, so I think we can say that summer is almost here! We set out for the day by first visiting Santa Clotilde where the gardens were the busiest I've seen for a long time. From there onto Santa Cristina where there was some sort of festival going on, there were so many people and cars there it was just impossible to get into the grounds or down to the beach so we gave that a miss.

Views from Santa Clotilde towards Boadella beach and Santa Cristina

 So on we went a little further down the coast and stopped off at Santa Susanna by the Carrefour shopping complex where just to the side was quite a large market, as it was about 2pm by this time sadly most of the stalls were ready to close. I'm not sure if this market is there every Sunday but it is worth a trip down there as it did seem that there were some good bargains about!

Santa Christina

 Over at Santa Christina the workmen have been very busy just lately preparing the grounds all around the church for the summer. The main pathway leading down to the beach is at present been made much safer for walking with a thick layer of gravel/sand being laid. Also through the woods new paths have been made which lead to newly made viewing points giving great views out to sea and along the coast.

Costa Brava Rally 62

Friday and Saturday 14-15th March Lloret de Mar is once again hosting the oldest rally in Spain - Rally Costa Brava 62. The 102 classic cars taking part can be seen at 4pm today along the seafront today so parking restrictions will be in place.
