Overlooking Tossa de Mar

Castillo de Tossa de Mar

This is the only fortified medieval town still standing on the Catalan coast.
It dates back to the end of the 14th century and still retains the original battlemented stone walls, four turrets and three cylindrical towers with parapets.
This site was declared a national historic monument in 1931.

We had the great pleasure of meeting up with JOSEANTONIO in Tossa.
He took us up to this breathtaking view of the old medieval town.
Thank you Jose! :)
