Taxi to Tossa de Mar from Barcelona Airport

Tossa sits behind the Vila Vella, the only fortified medieval town still standing on the Catalan coast, and the approach matters. From Lloret the GI-682 coast road is spectacular and full of hairpins — beautiful in daylight, tiring at night or if anyone in the car gets travel sick. The inland approach via Llagostera is a few minutes longer and much gentler. Tell us which you would rather have.

The old town itself is walled and largely pedestrian. We drop at the closest vehicle point, normally on Avinguda Costa Brava or by the Plaça de les Nacions, which leaves a short walk of a few minutes to most hotels inside the walls. Hotels on the seafront and in the newer part of town are direct drop-offs.

Out of season Tossa is very quiet and public transport thins out considerably — the last bus connection back towards Barcelona can be early in the evening. If you are visiting between November and March, a pre-booked car is often the only practical way in and out.

Questions about this route

How long does it take to reach Tossa de Mar from the airport?

About one hour twenty-five minutes. The coast road from Lloret adds ten minutes or so but is far more scenic.

Can the taxi enter the old town?

No — the Vila Vella is walled and pedestrian. We drop you at the nearest vehicle access, a few minutes’ walk from hotels inside the walls.

Is the coast road difficult?

It is a series of tight hairpins with steep drops. Perfectly safe with a local driver, but if anyone suffers from travel sickness ask for the inland route through Llagostera.

Do you drive to the campsites and Cala Llevadó?

Yes, and to Cala Pola and Giverola. Send the exact site name or a pin.

Is there a taxi available in winter?

Yes. We operate year-round, which matters in Tossa because bus connections are much reduced outside the season.
