Spain Tossa Travel Guide
Hi! Friends, today I want to recommend a super niche travel destination to everyone - Tossa in Spain! This beautiful village has narrow cobblestone alleys, beautiful boutiques and gourmet restaurants, and is a very suitable place for vacation.
First of all, I recommend everyone to go hiking in Cala Llevadors. This trail extends along the coastline to Castillo de Tossa, and you can admire multiple bays and attractions along the way, ending at Codolar Beach. From the cliff, you can overlook the entire sea, the scenery is super spectacular!
Walking in the old town, you can see the ruins of the medieval castle wall that once stood here. There are cafes and delicious seafood restaurants in the castle, where you can taste delicious food while admiring the beautiful sea view.
In addition, don't miss the two popular photo spots in the town. One is the square stone gate, which is also one of the filming locations of Jeon Ji-hyun's 'Legend of the Blue Sea', and the photo effect is super good! The other is a iron door through the bridge hole, behind the iron door is the blue sea, standing here to take pictures, as if in a fairy tale world.
In terms of transportation, it is not far from Barcelona, and it takes about an hour to drive. I suggest everyone to go to Tossa for a day or spend a leisurely weekend, and feel the unique charm of this beautiful village!

A southern coastal city with a perfect balance of city and sea. Close to art galleries, beaches, and the old town, it's a great place for a relaxing stay.

vall de núria — easy weekend from barcelona ⛰️🚞
perfect “mountains but no car” escape from barcelona. you take a normal rodalies train on line r3 to ribes de freser, then switch to the cremallera rack railway, the only way into the valley. the train climbs 12.5 km and more than 1,000 m in about 40 minutes with big windows and crazy views (^▽^)ノ
if you want it simple, look at the treNatura combined ticket: it includes round trip on rodalies from any station in catalunya to ribes de freser + rack railway up to vall de núria in one pass.
up in the valley there’s a hotel right by the lake, plus apartments and a small sanctuary. it’s open all year: in winter you have a small ski resort with a few lifts, sledding and snowshoe routes; in summer and autumn it turns into a hiking base with trails for all levels.
around the lake you can rent little boats or canoes, try the leisure park and mini-golf with kids, or just sit on the grass and stare at the peaks. (。•‿•)っ horse/pony routes and a cable car up to the viewpoints make it feel like a full mini-resort without cars or roads.
for a weekend from barcelona it’s very low-stress: train → rack railway → drop bags at the hotel → choose between hikes, snow or boat time, then watch the stars at night with zero city noise.

Fall in love with Girona, a hidden healing city outside Barcelona
Just 40 minutes from Barcelona. The moment I stepped off the train, I could feel the difference in the air. Girona is not a large city, but the entire place can be described with one word: 'tranquility.'
Walking along the Onyar River, the first thing that catches your eye is the colorful houses lined up along the river. The scenery, which I had only seen in photos, felt much warmer in person, and even the colors reflected in the river seemed like an integral part of the city.
The highlight of this trip was the Jewish Quarter (El Call). With every step, the cobblestone streets made a soft crunching sound, and the light in the alleys gradually changed with the time of day, creating a completely different atmosphere. It felt less like a tourist spot and more like a brief journey back in time. With few people around, I could fully immerse myself in the city's quiet breathing.
A visit to Girona Cathedral is a must. The stairs are a bit steep, but the panoramic view at the top makes all the effort worthwhile. Looking out over the entire city, I immediately understood why so many travelers to Spain recommend Girona. The red rooftops and stone walls come together to create a picture-perfect scene.
As I strolled leisurely, I felt as if the city's pace had adjusted to mine, bringing a sense of comfort. Sitting at a café with a cup of local coffee, gazing at the alleys, was pure healing—something you could never experience in a bustling metropolis crowded with tourists.
While a day trip is enough to explore Girona, I honestly felt like staying overnight next time. I couldn't help but wonder what the city would feel like at night.
Girona may not be a famous city, but it’s a place that makes you rethink the essence of travel. It reminds you of the value of 'slowness' and how a small city can leave such a lasting impression.
If you have plans to visit Barcelona, make sure to set aside just one day to visit Girona. Even on the way back, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and it will likely remain one of the most memorable destinations of my trip to Spain.

A Peaceful Day in Girona
#postandearn
Visiting Girona was like stepping into a quiet corner of Catalonia where history and charm go hand in hand. Just a short train ride from Barcelona, the city felt refreshingly calm and authentic, with fewer crowds and plenty to discover.
I started my day walking along the medieval walls that surround the old town. The views over the rooftops and the distant hills were stunning, especially in the morning light. From there, I explored the narrow stone alleys of the Jewish Quarter — one of the best preserved in Europe — where time seemed to slow down.
The highlight was the Girona Cathedral, with its wide staircase and massive single nave, which gave it a powerful, imposing feel. Nearby, I visited the Arab Baths, a small but atmospheric site that offered a glimpse into the city’s layered past.
As I wandered toward the Onyar River, the colorful houses lining its banks created a postcard-perfect scene. I crossed the red iron bridge built by Gustave Eiffel — a lovely contrast to the historic surroundings.
Girona impressed me with its beauty, calm atmosphere, and rich history. It’s a city that invites you to take your time, explore quietly, and appreciate the details — and that’s exactly what I did.

The tranquility and spirituality of this place, as well as the panoramic views, make it a great spot for a picnic, reading, meditation or sunbathing.

In Puig are the beautiful, fairly well-preserved ruins of the medieval Monastery of Santa Martía, which, as I experienced, few people know is the patron saint of Banyoles. The remains of the monastery impress with their beauty and the elevated view of Lake Banyoles. It’s about a fifteen minute walk from town, or twenty minutes at most, along a somewhat steep path, and you won’t get lost.

Beautiful surroundings and equally beautiful walking routes along the various bays
Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Girona (Region)
A very interesting leisurely walk. You can bring some towels, food and drinks and enjoy the different little beaches, provided there is space. As we were at the end of the season the cove was still packed with people. The round trip walk from Platja d’aro takes 1 hour (assuming you want to take nice photos).

Spectacular surroundings and beaches, nature and sea emerge from all directions
Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Girona (Region)
The perfect place to spend time lying on the beach or sitting on the terrace and enjoy relaxation and tranquility. It was wonderful to enjoy the movement of the sea, clouds and sky first thing in the morning and listen to the waves and wind crashing against the waves.
There is a sense of fulfillment here and everyone seems relaxed and carefree. The vegetation, the colors, the laughter of the children, the old fishermen’s houses… everything has a crazy charm. There are a few restaurants with terraces by the beach, but they are popular and it is best to book a table, especially if you want to dine facing the sea. The sunset is wonderful because the platta de Palafrugel acts as a backdrop and embellishes itself with warm and brilliant colors at the end of the day, amplifying it.
