On this occasion, reporter Diego Sánchez visits Tossa de Mara small municipality in Girona located in the Costa Brava.
It is a seafaring enclave straight out of a movie. So much so that in 1950 it became the filming set from the film he starred in Ava Gardner‘Pandora and the Flying Dutchman’. To remember her love affair with the municipality, the town paid tribute to her with a bronze statue.
Although the history of Tossa de Mar It goes back much further, as evidenced by its medieval wall from the 12th century; which has become one of the main tourist attractions of the fishing village. In fact, it was declared a National Historic Artistic Monument in 1931. Its walls surround the Vila Vella.
Tossa de Mar It is the only example of fortified medieval towns on the Catalan coast.
And, if after a walk through its historic center and a swim in its Stunning beaches nestled between cliffs and pine forestsit opens the appetite; there is nothing better to calm hunger than trying the Cim and tombthe most traditional dish from Tossa. The origin of this dish comes from “the fishermen of Tossa, who prepared it on the boat,” says Ricard Salvador, from the Mestre d’Aixa restaurant, who explains in this video what goes into the recipe for this Tossa delicacy.
