Cala Bona

Who says that a 'xiringuito' (beach bar) can't be glamorous? At Cala Bona, some 2km from Tossa de Mar, you'll find one of the most charming and glam corners of the Costa Brava. It's scarcely 100m from a sea with crystalline waters, and is in a natural setting that easily rivals the Caribbean. 

The place is so camouflaged by nature it's almost become part of the landscape. Absorb the view while enjoying tapas, salads and paellas cooked over a wood fire. In terms of tipples, we recommend the sangria, mojitos and magnificent G&Ts. It's a great place to go with friends or for enjoying a romantic meal à deux. 

If we've convinced you to go, then be aware about the single piece of bad news about this bar: it's only open for the summer.
