Tossa de Mar Castle
The most characteristic feature of this fishing town on the Costa Brava is its walled enclosure of the Vila Vella. Declared a National Historic and Artistic Monument, it consists of four towers and three cylindrical towers. At the highest part we find the lighthouse, which replaced the old castle that crowned the enclosure and which can be climbed either on foot or in a little train.

What is the Cim i Tomba?
Cim i tomba’ is a typical Tossa dish linked to its seafaring tradition. In the past, when the fishermen went out to fish, they were obliged to eat it on their boats. With a small cooker and a pot they would mix potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers and fish. They poured oil over it and covered it all with water.
During the month of September, many restaurants take part in La Cuina del Cim i Tomba, an initiative in which this dish from Tossa is prepared with monkfish, turbot, cod or skate. Take a look at the best restaurants in Tossa de Mar.
