Description
Join us on an engaging guided exploration of the walled enclave of Vila Vella and the historic Roman site of Tossa de Mar, where the charm of the Costa Brava awaits you.
Tour Overview
Are you ready to uncover one of the most inspiring and picturesque towns along the Costa Brava? We will convene at the scheduled time outside the Tossa de Mar Tourist Office to embark on a journey through 2,000 years of rich history that has inspired a multitude of artists.
Our adventure begins at the Vila Romana del Ametllers, a remarkable excavation unearthed in the early 20th century, which served as one of the key settlements in ancient Tarraco.
