Kampaoh Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar (five minutes’ drive) is a good place to start – you can take a walk around the Old Town and up to the castle and Moorish Tower while deciding on which activities you might sign up for. Boat trips, snorkelling adventures and scuba diving are all on offer down at the harbour, or you could choose an off-road tour to explore the scenery away from the coast. Nearby resorts have more to keep you busy – perhaps you’d like to whizz down the slides at Water World Parc in Lloret de Mar (15 minutes), stroll through the greenery at Jardí Botànic Marimurtra in Blanes (half an hour) or head to Malgrat de Mar (half an hour) to see the dolphins at Marineland or ride the funicular up to Parc del Castell. Heading inland, it’s about a 45-minute drive to the lovely city of Girona, where you can do a circuit of the city walls, visit the cathedral and stop at art and archaeology museums before finding a corner for a spot of lunch and a drink in the atmospheric Old City.
