Thank you for your wonderful advice and being so helpful.
We are interested in purchasing in old town Tossa but of course we are concerned about heat and Internet. Do you happen to know what the Internet might be there? And also if they even let you install heat in some of the older buildings since I know there are restrictions sometimes. ...

Are there still available restaurants and shops and transportation in the off-season?
I don't mean to pester you with questions but you just seem so knowledgeable and I understand if you don't have time to attend to all my questions. I still found your response very helpful and hope to meet you in the future when we find a place. Again thank you so much.JJ
Hello JJ and sorry for my delayed response! I don't want to mislead you on the heat and internet, as I don't know firsthand, but we have acquaintances who recently remodeled an old family home within the old town walls and they have no problems with the internet. Not sure whether they ran into any problems with updating the heating when remodeling, though.
The off season is much quieter (which we personally love) but there are always at least some restaurants, shops and transport available. For example we were there from just after christmas through late January this year; a lot going on over new year's, then most bars and restaurants closed for a post-holiday break. Still, when we wanted tapas or a meal, there was always something to be found (it's easier if you adapt to Spanish hours, though, e.g. there are lots of places open for lunch, but only a few for dinner). And the big supermarkets (Esclat etc) stay open, no problem there.
We didn't use the bus this time but I believe the local routes stay running as normal all year round, and the tourist routes (e.g. from Barcelona airport) are reduced but still run every day. And lots of cabs about even in off season, so that's no problem either.
Good luck with your search and hope to meet you in future!
