About this tour
Spend nine and a half hours exploring the medieval town of Tossa de Mar with a coastal walk and Mediterranean swim. Starting from Barcelona, you'll navigate cobbled streets, discover the castle ruins and lighthouse that shaped this Catalan settlement, then snorkel in Cala Bona's clear waters.

What to expect
You'll leave Barcelona early and arrive in Tossa de Mar by mid-morning. After a guided walk through the town's medieval layout—including the castle grounds and lighthouse—you'll follow the Cami de la Ronda, a coastal path offering views of rocky inlets and pine-covered cliffs. The walk is steady rather than challenging. You'll then have time to swim and snorkel in Cala Bona before gathering for a sit-down lunch at a local restaurant. The afternoon includes further free time to explore shops or rest before the return drive to Barcelona, arriving late evening.
Good to know
Bring your own towel and snorkelling fins; drinks aren't included so carry cash or pack water. The hike suits ages 7+ and requires moderate fitness—not advisable if pregnant. The coach is air-conditioned and service animals are welcome.
