Tossa de Mar

As before a large portion of the drive from Andorra to Tossa De Mar was across winding mountain roads; the distance was short, but the time was long.  

Tossa De Mar is a beautiful sea-side village. The hotel, Hotel Diana,  was classic in style and architecture located on the beach, facing the castle. Our room had a good view of the old city, and the castle.

After we checked in, we took a walk in the old city, climbed to the top of the Mount Guardí where we found a lighthouse and a restaurant over looking the Mediterranean Sea.  There we settled in for some tappas, beer and view.  

Later we walked over to the tourist bureau and picked up some hiking maps. Coincidently there was a trail that left from the bureau that led to the coast and then to the old city and then our hotel.

The next day it was raining; our planned 13km hike to Lloret De Mar would have to be deferred.  The front desk suggested we drive to St. Fulieu. The road reportedly has 365 turns. It did offer a spectacular view.  We were not disappointed, at least with the drive–we stopped several times on the way to take pictures–however, there was not much to do in St. Fulieu.

We returned to Tossa de Mar and walked through the old city.
