Tossa de Mar. Costa Brava. Walled city.

Tossa de Mar, Spain.  Walled, medieval city. Costa Brava.

Tossa de Mar is the best-preserved medieval walled city on the Costa Brava, if not all of coastal Spain.  Beaches are perfect first-day stops, but pick yours carefully.  Sand is repetitions.  Choose a unique side-interest. This walled town is on the beach itself, where fishermen and area dwellers could take refuge quickly. See history at http://www.spanish-country-villa.com/tossa/
