Hello, we lost the only key to our car and are now stuck here.  It is for a Volkswagen is black and has three buttons.  It was lost hiking up to the top of the fortress

Hi, we are thinking about buying a holiday appartment in Tossa de Mar. Is there anything we should be aware of? We are particularly wondering about squatters as this seems to be an issue in Spain. But any other advice/ information would be welcome. Also are there many Brits with homes/holiday homes in the area

 Are we generally welcomed by the locals? 

We’re staying for a week in Tossa de Mar in August with our dog.She will have a health certificate from our uk vet for travel in Europe.This requires her to have a worming treatment 5 days prior to returning to the uk.We will need to get this done in Tossa de Mar.The vet will need to sign/stamp the certificate.

Do I need to  book this or can I walk in off the street ?

Can anyone recommend a vet in Tossa de Mar ?

Thanks

Hi, I often see dog sitters needed, we offer dog sitting at our house in a forest with lots of space near Tossa de Mar, we only take one dog at a time and can feed your friend whatever you like. They get lots of walks, they sleep indoors and no cage. We have a small dog who is very well socialised. We can do single nights or weeks, you are welcome to check out the facilities. Thanks.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in a "swap" between Tossa and Dublin, Ireland for a few weeks during the summer?

I have a 2 bedroom terraced house, close to the centre (20 mins walk), with excellent transport links & canal, river nearby. Its right beside the Google HQ and has excellent local shops, restaurants and bars. 

If anyone was thinking of a break from the tourists and the heat in July/August maybe we could swap for a few weeks?

I have a cat, and if you have any pets that would need to be looked after while you were away, that would definitely be something we could share.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have interest in this idea.

Thanks

Hi,

I have an apartment in Tossa and would like to stay there longer than 2 holiday weeks, ideally 1 month. But I need a stable internet connection to work.

To pay for a contract is not the solution. The house is used just in sommer.

Any idea how to get a good connection for a limited period, 1 month more or less? (I live in Germany, by the way).

Which operator can I contact? What about Spain Internet.net? Is that good?

Which options do I have?

Thanks a lot in advance

Cheers

We are Canadian couple ( +55), looking to make Costa Brava our second residence. We are coming next week to visit coastal cities from Blanes to Begur - renting an apartment for 7 days in Blanes and 7 days in Palamos.  We are searching for a coastal place that is active year around, as we will be there mostly off season.

In terms of language, we speak English and French, but just started to learn Spanish; I liked very much Nicola’s note ( 2021 post in Calonge Forum) about modicum of Spanish and a bit of Catalan getting you by…Still far from there, but hopefully, will be able to produce “something to this effect” by the end of the year…

Our hobbies include tennis (too much competitive, I must admit), skiing and walking in the nature. The last seems to be in abundance in the area, and I can’t wait to explore it.  

As we do not have any contacts in the area, we would greatly appreciate to hear any advice and pointers, and maybe even meet for a coffee while we are in the area!

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you!
