| Description: | Tossa de Mar is a built-up and developed resort, popular with British package tourists like Lloret de Mar. Unlike Lloret de Mar however, this resort has more of a Spanish atmosphere. The area consists of 2 main beaches (Mar Grand and La Bauma) surrounding a medieval town. The town also has an old quarter surrounded by 12th century walls. Yields are good but the scope for capital growth is limited. There are no future building plans that we could find – but don’t let this put you off. There’s lots to do, the climate’s good and its clean. Its also cheap to get here. With all holiday homes you have to balance out the facilities offered by the area with the amount of return you expect from the property. This area can offer you a great holiday home and will pay for itself but don’t expect more than that. If you’re in it for the long term then there could be good returns to be had within the 10-20 year timescale. It is an attractive resort and this, some day, will be recognised. | |||||||||||||||||||||
