Beach Travel Wine wraps its Spain trip in Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava. The hosts say they were there to chill, relax, and enjoy the Spanish lifestyle. They move through the town in a practical way. Beaches, cafes, restaurants, the walled fortress, the lighthouse, and the accommodation all get time in the conversation. The place feels compact and easy to get around. There is a clear suggestion for listeners who want a walk: head toward the headland and follow the tracks. They did part of that walk and still found beautiful viewpoints. Sheltered beaches sit on the other side of the headland. A small boat cruise leaves from the main beach on a floating jetty. It takes people around the headland and drops them at one of two beaches for the day. The boat comes back every hour. They say it was about 15 euro a head. The beach setup sounded fairly calm rather than hectic. Their June and early July timing meant the town was not overcrowded, though they note August is much busier. Menuda is the beach they looked over most closely. Scuba diving was happening there all day. At night they could see blue lights on the water from night dives. The clear water, stones, and pebbles seem to explain why. The episode also leaves room for a few funny stories. One of them involves a 1950s Hollywood actress and a Spanish bullfighter. Near the end, the hosts point listeners to the photos from the hotel, the beaches, the old town, and the cafes. They also point to the Instagram story highlights for Tossa de Mar. They finish by flagging one popular tourist activity they would not recommend.
