Apartamentos El Sol is in Tossa de Mar
Imagine a place where travelling through time, back to the past. Tossa de Mar is something like an outdoor museum. Its prehistoric remains from roman Turissa go through the medieval Tursa into modern Tossa. Once a meeting point for intellectuals (Marc Chagall, Picasso), now a very beloved touristic destination, Tossa de Mar is one of the most beautiful village in the Costa Brava.
Tossa de Mar is one of those typical coastal towns of the Empordà, where we find the pines growing and reaching sea, almost touching the water.
Tossa's economy, some centuries ago, was based on the cork and wine industry. However, the filming of 'Pandora' in 1950 (starring Ava Gardner), parallel to the beginning of the village as a tourist destination on the Costa Brava, turned this beautiful coastal location into one of the best known around the world. For this reason tourism has become the main economic engine of the town during last decades.
Tossa's origins are pre-Roman. Known as Turissa, it enjoys an exceptional geographic location, situated between Lloret de Mar (south) and Sant Feliu de Guixols (north). To get there you must take the road GI-682, which passes through the two mentioned locations. Both coming from Lloret and from Sant Feliu, the views from the road are fantastic. It is almost obligatory stop at one of the many panoramic viewpoints marked through the edge of the road to watch and take pictures of the views of the creeks that are visible from there. Through this way you can access beautiful and spectacular beaches such as Cala Giverola, Cala del Senyor Raimon, Cala Vallpresona, Cala Canyet, etc.
From Roman times Tossa still keeps the villa of Els Ametllers, located in av. of Pelegri, 3-5, near the Torre de Sant Magí (St. Magí Tower). Discovered by Dr. Ignasi Melee in 1914, it has its origin in the first century BC and was inhabited until the sixth century AD. It's really a great honor to Tossa to have one of the best towns in the former province of Tarraco, which has survived until today. In els Ametllers the owners cultivated grapes and exported wine to the rest of the Roman Empire. It is therefore a classic example of farming in the Mediterranean area dominated by the Romans.
Already in the center of town, you have to visit the walled enclosure, which is exactly the Vila Vella de Tossa. Listed as National Historic-Artistic Monument by the Spanish government, its walls now represent the only example of a fortified medieval town on the Catalan coast. It is composed of seven watchtowers (including, for example, d'en Joan, Codolar and Heures).
It is highly recommended to walk through the streets of this small walled area and get to the Faro de Tossa (Tossa Lighthouse), which overlooks a magnificent view of the rocky coastline south of village.
Tossa Lighthouse (1917), located on the highest part of the Vila Vella de Tossa has become the Lighthouse Interpretation Centre (Centro de Interpretación de Faros) of our coastline. This innovative equipment in the museum domain is a point of reference for all those interested in the world of maritime signals. It is an audiovisual center, adapted to visitors in several languages that teaches us the history and the different technologies used in the world of lighthouses and the lifestyle of their guardians, the lighthouse keepers. The space devoted to museum gives us the chance to see different parts of this maritime heritage.
Outside the Walls, bounded by the streets Portal and Estolt, you find the district of Sa Roqueta, a traditional place of fishermen formed in the first stage of Tossa urban expansion, back in the XVI century. Further, following the street Portal, is the commercial center of town.
The walk along the seafront of Tossa, from the walls to the beach of Mar Menuda is also a nice experience. This tour will allow you to enjoy the sea and the spectacular views of the Cape of Tossa and the fortified ancient villa previously described.
The Municipal Museum, housed in the Batlle Palace, bears testimony to the passage through Tossa of Marc Chagall, André Masson, Joaquim Sunyer and other painters captivated by this landscape.
Tossa boasts fine beaches such as Llorell and Morisca, and one of the most beautiful stretches on this coastline: the road to Sant Feliu de Guíxols (twenty-five kilometres of bend after bend) through the coves of Salions, Futadera, Giverola and Pola.

The apartments lay close to all the main things that you want in Tossa de Mar; tourist information, busstation, restaurants, bakery, bankmachine, old town, supermarket, pharmacy, beaches and the naturewalks nearby... The landlord and landlady of these apartments were very helpful and went out of their way to do extras for us. Directly they helped us change from a studio to a onebedroom place and also we got to stay a couple of hours later than planned from the beginning. they said: all possible because of being in October but without any extra charge to us, so they really deserved the good tip I gave! On the downside this place has single glazed windows as most places so one can hear all sounds from outside and also from some other guests. The busstation; the buses stopped around 9.30 pm and started around 7.30 am. The pub was a 24 hour one which was mainly quiet except one night when someone sang loudly in the street for several hours (out of the three nights we stayed). Otherwise tidy and clean with the essentials but also with a sealed washing up set for dishes and soap for the bathroom. All and all a good place but not for the light sleeper in the long run and I don't know what Tossa will be like in the middle of tourist season. Nevertheless, thanks for a lovely stay! too close to traffic and 24h open PUB + too close to BUS station were buses stands sometimes with their engines running for a long time. |

Det var ett trevligt rum och balkong. Sängarna var lagom hårda så man sov bra. Vi hade det precis så lugnt och skönt vi förväntade oss. Lite små detaljer: Köksutrustningen var lite underdimensionerad. Det saknades diskborste och diskmedel. Eftersom det går åt ganska lite är det förargligt att tvingas köpa en hel flaska diskmedel för en vecka. Det kunde även ha funnits hushållspapper. En lampa vid varje säng hade varit bra. Vid en säng saknades det lampa Lite krokar för att hänga upp saker och ting (kläder t.ex) borde fina fler av.. |

sehr freundliches Personal, das auch sehr zuvor kommend war; nett und gemütlich eingerichtetes Zimmer; Balkon; Küchenausstattung; Fernseher; Lage gleich in der Nähe der Busstation und des Supermarktes Doppelbett waren nur 2 zusammengeschobene Betten; Fenster nicht so gut isoliert - daher konnte man den Lärm der Straße sehr gut hören; zu wenig Toilettenpapier, eigener Geruch des Appartments |

Отдых был незабываемым. Это тишина, гармония, покой. Отличный апарт-отель, замечательное соотношение "цена-качество", очень внимательный персонал(хотя ни слова по-русски, но друг друга отлично понимали!). Полотенца меняли раз в три дня, белье постельное - раз в шесть дней. Близость к автостанции все-таки плюс, а не минус, так как много ездили и в Барселону, и на экскурсии, и на автобус было рукой подать. Никаких проблем с тем, чтобы вкусно и недорого поесть - все прямо внизу, и ресторанчик, и кондитерские. Сам городок - просто чудо из детской сказки. В общем, очень все рекомендую. V nomere vsegda paxlo syrost'yu i esche chem-to. |

до пляжа недалеко, 10 минут прогулки по живописным старинным улочкам, которые все ведут к морю))), магазин с продуктами в трех-четырех минутах от отеля, приятный, ненавязчивый персонал, откликающийся на буквально все вопросы и просьбы, искренне желаю им удачного сезона громковато... но это живой шум местечка, после Москвы - просто ТИШИНА |

La pareja que lleva los apartamentos fueron muy amables desde el primer momento. No tenían mucha gente esos días asique nos dieron un apartamento mejor y nos dejaron hacer el check out a la hora que quisieramos. El apartamento era más que suficiente para dos personas y estaba muy limpio. La cocina muy bien equipada. Está justo al lado de la estación de autobuses y tan sólo a 5 minutos andando de la playa. No es un sitio lujoso pero para pasar unos días está estupendo. El apartamento con una habitación estaba muy bien, pero ví el estudio y puede resultar un pelín pequeño y sólo con sofás camas. |

Очень приятный городок, удобно расположенные аппартаменты со всем необходимым, очень удобно также для путешествующих на автомобиле: рядом много бесплатных парковочных мест, автозаправка. В 3х минутах пешком хороший супермаркет с полным выбором продуктов и вин по хорошим ценам. El apartamento con una habitación estaba muy bien, pero ví el estudio y puede resultar un pelín pequeño y sólo con sofás camas. |

El trato del personal, son muy encantadores. Los apartamentos están bien equipados y tienen un bonito balcón. La estación de autobuses queda al lado y no hemos tenido problemas para aparcar (aunque nosotros hemos estado en Semana Santa y nos comentaron que en verano es más difícil aparcar). Se podría mejorar la insonorización de las habitaciones. Además, está un poco apartado de la playa, aunque con un bonito paseo llegas enseguida. |

lo que mas me desagrado fueron las camas son muy viejas, colchones con muelles que se te clavan en la espalda de tres noches que estuvimos no pudimos descansar ningun dia pienso que estos sitios tienen que tener unas camas en condiciones... El apartamento con una habitación estaba muy bien, pero ví el estudio y puede resultar un pelín pequeño y sólo con sofás camas. |
