Tossa de Mar Tourist / Tourism Tossa de Mar is one of the Costa Brava's most popular tourist hot spots. This has been the case since the 1950's, where previously it had relied on agriculture & to a lesser extent the fishing trade for it's fortune. At this time the shooting of a Hollywood classic (Pandora & the Flying Dutchman starring Ava Gardner & James Mason) helped promote the town, & significant investment by Spain's government funded the construction of hotels & apartment complexes, wide stretches of coastline to be adapted, & the improvement of municipal facilities. This paid off & the tourist trade now swells the town population ten-fold during the summer months. One of the main reasons behind Tossa de Mar's original attraction lay in the beauty of the countryside surrounding it. This often varied terrain is ideal for farming, while at the same time (due to it's location in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountain range) favoured amongst those who travel to the area to participate in adventure sports, from hiking & mountain biking to rock climbing & skiing. It's coastline is equally sought after, with long sandy beaches split only by rocky coves. Aside from the hotels, apartment complexes, swathes of restaurants, & many bars, the town of Tossa de Mar offers something to discover; after all it's history dates back as far as 966AD. A good example of this heritage comes in the form of its ancient lighthouse, which was built around the 13th century & is still functional.
