Tossa’s Old Town, Women’s History and Mar Menuda

Why go

This route suits visitors who want Tossa’s history alongside time by the sea. Can Ganga brings women’s work into the story before a separate walk through the walled old town; Mar Menuda changes the pace at the end. Start with the former Hospital of Sant Miquel and Torre dels Moros if you want extra architecture and a hilltop outlook. Those two stops are optional, and the hospital visit concerns its exterior. Allow time for slopes and pauses between the compact town stops. Check Can Ganga’s current visiting arrangements before setting out.
