The area around Tossa de Mar is part of the Massís de les Cadiretes Nature Reserve. We decided between hiking up its highest hill, Puig de les Cadiretes, and hiking along the coast. Convenient parking on the edge of the town agreed to the coast, and we didn’t regret it.
Directly from the parking lot, we set out on the path named after the beach, which leads to it above the coastal cliffs – called Es Codolar.
Rock cliffs combined with beaches and ancient buildings created beautiful views. The town of Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava itself offers several attractions in one place. In addition to the spectacular views from the coastal cliffs and attractive beaches, the old part of Vila Vella is also home to the 12th-century Torre del Castell castle, the fortress, and the Far de Tossa lighthouse, all complemented by ancient narrow streets full of cafés, restaurants, and shops. Tossa de Mar acts as a fishing town. However, the main livelihood of the local inhabitants has been growing grapes and cork since ancient times.
The trail is not difficult and is well-marked. It is part of the Camí de Ronda long-distance trail leading along the Costa Brava coast.
