title	A Postcard From Tossa de Mar, Catalunya, Spain - 30th October 2024
intro	We decide to drive up the coast a bit to explore the other "de Mar" - Tossa, which is only about 15km away. It turns out to be quite the find, with the only fortified Mediaeval town on the Catalan coast, a nice beach and a pleasant extended town just beyond the castle walls. Whilst there we eat probably the best tapas we'd yet found anywhere, have a walk up to the lighthouse on the top of the hill inside the fortifications, and visit the Museum of Women.
