The medieval walled town of Tossa de Mar is the Costa Brava's most photogenic sight, its 12th-century towers and battlements enclosing a cobbled vila vella — old town — that overlooks a pristine blue bay that Marc Chagall famously called paradise on earth. The illuminated fortifications are particularly dramatic at night, reflected in the calm Mediterranean below. Hotels near Tossa de Mar Castle put you in one of Spain's most beautifully preserved coastal medieval towns.
