Tossa de Mar, around & about

We have had a great few days wandering around this little town. Yesterday we went to the weekly market. Something we love to do – each one so unique, never know what you will see. This one was mostly clothes with some leather purses, shoes, a few tablecloths, underwear. About 3 blocks of end to end trucks that open up to display their goods. On 2 of the side streets were tables of veggies and fruit, meat and cheese. We bought veggies for supper: potatoes, green beans, an avocado and a handful of fresh figs – all for 5€. Later we bought a bbq’d chicken and we have dinner for 2 nights.  At this point in our travels we are both tired of eating out and by eating in we can help balance the budget. 

We spent hours wandering around the castle that is a very prominent feature of Tossa. It’s very old, 12th Century, with Roman sections of the wall that run along the town side. There are lots of old stone  buildings inside with shops and restaurants. A light house up at the very top has a great bar and restaurant that has an incredible view out over the Mediterranean and the cliffs of the Costa Brava.  The very best views of all are along the far side of castle looking over the rugged coastline. It’s a WOW!
