Everything was ideal, beginning with Angel’s lovely parents checking us in and giving recommendations for restaurants (El Rincon de Galicia - superb beef and some of the best octopus I’ve had) and supermarkets (Esclat for daily goods, Supermercat Palou for great meat) in Tossa de Mar.
The pictures you see are exactly the place. Nothing is taken from a better angle. In fact, it’s bigger than the pictures feel. Everything is clean, thoughtfully arranged, and well-equipped. On the well-equipped part, the kitchen is INSANELY well-equipped. You need nothing. It’s ALL there to do nearly any kind of cooking. Even small appliances like a food processor. Induction range, Nespresso coffee maker, washer...felt like Home.
Great BBQ outside. Marinate some beef-chicken-lamb, toss it on the grill with some green onions, grab a salad, a potato tortilla (at Esclat for a ridiculous 2€ for the quality), plenty of wine, and kick back by the pool for a two-hour dinner watching the Balearic Sea turn various shades of blue, orange and purple as the sun sets in a gentle breeze and utter silence. Or get sardines and white wine at the private beach bar 200 yards away from the house, on a beach that was NEVER crowded in the least.
It’s the best AirBnB I’ve stayed at and worth every penny.
Side note: if you skydive or want to, SkyDive Empuriabrava (1.5 hours north) is the most organized, best-run facility I’ve ever seen. Biggest drop zone in Europe run by real professionals.
