Tossa de Mar, a town near Barcelona🇪🇸 The scenery of Tossa de Mar, a small rural town in Catalonia. I couldn't get my luggage, so I missed the bus and thought it would take two hours, but it took two and a half to three hours because of the traffic, but I was amazed by the scenery of the town!

I was in Tossa De Mar not a first time and every time it is something new. This time I decided to wake up earlier to see sunrises. It was an amazing experience. Every day sunrises were different. I didn’t regret that I had such experience. It was something new in my life which have never been forgotten. Tossa De Mar is a great place for sunrises. You feel that you wake up together with a nature. For me it not an easy to wake up early but when I do it I am so proud of myself. Waked up at 05.00 AM, sunrise was at 06:17 at that time (the beginning of June). For doing that don’t forget to put something warm on. He-he, the temperature in the morning is a little bit cold and windy. Just in case 😉 There is a small well known hill where Castle is situated and there is an unknown, secret path with a best view ever for the sea, and horizon, and bay, and town. Such sunrises take your breath away….😇😇😇

We were in Barcelona city looking for something different to do so we discover this amazing camping with private beach named “Kampaoh Cala Pola”. We immediately rented a car and drove to there. 😱 It was an experience experience. The price is very reasonable, the people are kind, the “room” is comfortable and the beach is peaceful! Highly recommend! 👏🏻 #summervacation#beachvacation

[Tosa de Mar with a beautiful sea and castle🌊] This is another resort town near Barcelona, ​​Tossa de Mar. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus from Barcelona Signa, and as expected, the town is small enough to tour in a day. And following Sitges, this place was also a filming location for the drama Legend of the Blue Sea, where Lee Min-ho and Jun Ji-hyun ran away on bicycles! While watching the drama, I noticed that the castle walls were so pretty with a medieval feel and the stone walls were so pretty that I decided to visit this place first when planning a trip to Barcelona! 😍 As a tmi, Tossa de Mar means dry sea! I heard that many Europeans also come to Tossa de Mar to enjoy a vacation. When I visited in 2018, many people knew about Sitges, but it seemed like they didn't know about Tossa de Mar. I personally liked the atmosphere of Tossa de Mar better than Sitges. The castle walls were pretty, the view was pretty, and the sea water was much clearer and prettier. That's probably why I enjoyed swimming so much!! As expected, there were some free-spirited Europeans who were running around naked even though it wasn't a nude beach ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Next time, I definitely want to stay in Tossa de Mar for more than 2 nights and relax ☺️ #Barcelona travel #Spain travel #Europe travel #Barcelona #Spain #Tossa de Mar travel #Tossa de Mar #Drama filming location #barcelona #spain #tossademar #small city travel #suburban travel #walking travel #life travel destination #life shot spot #vacation travel

| Healing town. Babies! I discovered the little-known holiday gem of Tossa in Spain. The blue of the Mediterranean, the medieval city walls, the colorful houses... Every photo you take looks like a screenshot from a movie. I have compiled a comprehensive travel guide and food guide for you to save. 🌟【Must-visit attractions in Tossa town】 ▫️The ruins of the old city wall🏰 Strolling along Carrer del Call, the mottled medieval walls extending to the seaside are the town’s most iconic scenery. Climb up the observation tower and enjoy a 360-degree view of the blue sea and sky and the staggered red roofs and white walls. You can also see the beautiful sunset at dusk. ▫️La Vila Vella Old Town Cobblestone roads, colorful doors and windows, balconies wrapped with vines... It's like traveling back in time. I recommend strolling along Plaça de la Vila, where there are many handicraft shops and galleries. I found a unique ceramic cup, which is very memorable! ▫️Platja Gran Beach Soft sand + jelly sea 🌊 Be sure to spend half a day lying here! Bring a book, order a glass of sangria, and watch the sailboats sailing across the sea. It's super chill. It is recommended to wear bright-colored clothes. It's super photogenic to take pictures with the blue sea. 📸 🍽️【Mediterranean flavor on the tip of your tongue】 After shopping, go straight to this treasure restaurant 「Restaurant Pizzeria Bar Lluis」 The store is decorated in a typical Mediterranean style, with wooden tables and chairs + blue and white decorations, and you can also see the street view through the floor-to-ceiling windows~ ✅Must-order menu: 🦐Traditional Spanish seafood rice The rice grains have absorbed the essence of saffron and seafood broth, and have the right softness and hardness!

The 360° observation deck offers panoramic views of the old town, the port, and the Sagrada Família. It gets windy at the top, so bring a jacket. About 15 minutes before sunset, take a backlit side-profile shot and apply the "Seaside" filter for a masterpiece! 🍽️ Must-try dishes: ✔️ Seafood paella at a traditional restaurant in Tossa de Mar, with lobster and saffron-infused rice. ✔️ Escalivada, a roasted vegetable salad in Blanes, served with freshly baked baguette. ✔️ Bring snacks to the mountaintop for a chill picnic while watching the sunset. ⚠️ Tips: ✅ The castle area has lots of mosquitoes, so bring insect repellent. ✅ The botanical garden has slopes, so wear comfortable shoes. ✅ Spanish restaurants close early for lunch breaks, so don’t miss meal times!

Barcelona's sunset should be enjoyed with a sunset ride

This is a delicate dinner full of Spanish coastal style. Let me tell you about this culinary journey: In the charming seaside town of Tossa de Mar, Sa Carbonera restaurant presented us with an unforgettable seafood feast. Each dish in the restaurant interprets the luxury and simplicity of the Mediterranean. Walking into the restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is the golden and tempting seafood rice. This classic Spanish seafood paella is bright in color, with distinct grains of rice, topped with fresh mussels, shrimp, and various seafood, and the air is filled with the aroma of saffron and seafood. It is worth mentioning their sea urchins, each of which is carefully cooked and paired with champagne, with a delicate taste and a salty taste of the sea. And the foie gras is even more of a highlight, with the chef using innovative techniques to perfectly blend it with seafood, and every bite is a treat for the taste buds. The waiters elegantly opened champagne for us, and the golden bubbles jumped in the goblet, complementing the surrounding atmosphere. Throughout the meal, we enjoyed the food while admiring the Mediterranean scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, which was a perfect dinner experience. Recommended nearby hotels: Hotel Diana - Located on the seafront, just a 5-minute walk to the restaurant, the room has direct sea views Hotel Sant March - Classical and elegant boutique hotel, quiet environment, attentive service Hotel Marina Tossa - Modern design, with swimming pool, superior location Tips: It is recommended to book a table in advance, especially the window seat. Dinner time is very popular, and the restaurant's signature dishes are often sold out in advance. The best time to eat is at dusk, when you can enjoy the food and enjoy the beautiful sunset. This restaurant hidden in Tossa de Mar perfectly interprets what a true Mediterranean dining experience is - fresh seafood, superb cooking, romantic atmosphere, and that inimitable leisure and sophistication.

The Mediterranean Sea spans Asia, Africa, and Europe. On the western coast of the Mediterranean, Spain 🇪🇸 is home to countless Mediterranean seaside resort towns, and Tossa de Mar is undoubtedly one of the most attractive holiday destinations. We first learned about this place from the Korean drama "The Legend of the Blue Sea," which was filmed here. With blue skies, white clouds, a blue sea, and a pleasant climate, this is a great place for many Spaniards and Europeans to spend a wonderful and relaxing summer vacation. Facing the sea, there are many ways to get close to nature: you can lie on a beach chair and sunbathe, clear your mind, and forget about the troubles of work and life; you can participate in some exciting sea activities (specific times and numbers of people are posted at each small counter); you can stroll through the castle on the mountainside and enjoy the view from above; you can stroll through the old town, which is full of restaurants, cafes, and some exquisite handmade souvenir shops. In short, it is well worth a visit.
