The sea-facing facade of the 100+ year old Casa Sans
A big part of why I flew to Spain to attend the TBEX conference last year was the location.
After the main event, I embarked on a blog trip with several others to see more of Costa Brava, the region between Barcelona and the French border.
Our first stop was Tossa de Mar, a beach town of incredible beauty, with well-preserved, 800-year old stone ramparts to add a touch of history.

The Old Town was so picturesque, it was no surprise we stumbled across a movie set
As the movie scene was being shot, I took the opportunity to play paparazzi. If you know the name of the pretty actress in green, let me know!

Very pretty! Love these pictures.
I am so in love with Spain…spent most of my 3 month Europe trip touring around and can’t get enough. Have yet to really explore Costa Brava – but with pics like these…I know it won’t be long til I do!
Anita, Costa Brava left me wanting to explore more of Spain, especially in the south. So much to see there!
Beautiful pictures! Did you find out who the actress was?
Nope
