Most of the bars in Tossa de Mar are casual and laid-back, excellent for enjoying a quiet night cosied up with loved ones along the waterfront during holidays in Costa Brava. Here, you can sample light bar eats and fresh tapas before heading out to dinner, or settle in for the night with a pint of beer and a sporting match on television.
