What to see and visit on the Costa Brava?

If you have rented an apartment in Tossa de Mar for a few days, you may plan to visit the Medieval Village of Pals, less than 60 km away and in the province of Girona: this recognized and typical cultural site leads along cobbled streets to the fortress and small craft shops. Only 25 km from the French border, the city of Figueres is well known for the Dali Museum it houses and its fortress of Sant Ferran, the largest enclosure in Europe with an 18th-century bastion.
