What the transfer covers
Tossa de Mar is known for the Vila Vella, its walled medieval quarter on the Cap de Tossa headland above the bay. The town's tourist office describes it as the sole remaining fortified medieval town on the Catalan coast, built to protect the people of Tossa from pirate attacks and declared a historic monument in 1931. Within the walls are narrow cobbled streets, the remains of the 15th-century church of Sant Vicenç, and a lighthouse standing where the castle's watchtower used to be. Below them, the Generalitat de Catalunya's Costa Brava guide notes, the headland separates the small Cala des Codolar from the beach that stretches across the bay, and the Municipal Museum recalls the painters who stayed here, among them Marc Chagall and André Masson.
On this route the road estimate comes to 86 km, about 1 h 15 min without traffic. After the C-31, the C-32 motorway takes it up the Maresme coast, and the GI-682 carries it through Lloret de Mar to Tossa. Past Tossa the same road goes on to Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a stretch the guide calls twenty-five kilometers of bend after bend, past the coves of Salions, Futadera, Giverola and Pola.
