What Does A Positive On Clear Blue Look Like

A bus trip to Tossa de Mar in Tossa de Mar

last Saturday as I strolled through the streets of Tossa I'm almost a miracle. Is it one of the great coaches at the beach promenade, that is, where you never actually see a bus. Well, I have to add that the local police was already standing beside the bus and the driver asked his passengers to hand but the luggage and then to follow them to the station.

Well, the majority of the hotels in Tossa lie close to the beach or in the older part of town, so on very narrow roads, some of which are even with the normal car to drive hard, but with a coach, pure madness! Although the town Tossa forget the city for buses by traffic signs to block, then the bus driver, nevertheless, have expected too much or something because of a corresponding amount of alcohol in the street have seen double-wide.

On the other hand, I understand, of course, passengers who wish to get their luggage like to be given a little closer to the hotels, because sometimes several hundred meters have to be covered on foot, as in other places traditional hotel pick-up service seem to be very or quite simply does not exist. Guests are welcome indeed, but why offer the service. PAID the bus passengers already, although up to 50% less than the "normal" guests. But after 500 meters march with their suitcases, they are done only once and can hardly complain yet. ... With whom complain too? Most knew the tour operator the problem but held back the information because the bus has to be so full of need. Tourism is a business and no pleasure.

But motorists are in Tossa surprised so often when in front of a hotel parking (for 1 car!) Limited to 10 minutes, is it in Quick procedure looking to throw their luggage from the trunk and then have a free parking area at least 300 meters from the hotel allowed, which is associated in July and August, sometimes with greater difficulty. But come anyway just to Tossa sporting guests, how lucky! There are even accessible hotels that are just not able to drive a larger vehicle disabled.

And then the driver can practice even in the obstacle driving, an experience that many would spend a fortune. The hotels in the Vila Nova are in fact only achieve very narrow streets which are really pedestrian zone. Only the approach to the hotel by car is allowed, as this could close the hotel before it reaches the higher water level in 50 years. And, it really is an experience to squeeze his vehicle through a crowded pedestrian zone best. Some of the pedestrians to take this intrusion into their territory, unfortunately, some in person and allow the vehicles small dents or scratches with the key bit of the paint. If at least one souvenir that must not pay.

I love and feel Tossa me very well here, but many a time I wonder if the city (and hotels) should do something that a tourist in any situation in Tossa feel comfortable. If you consider, of course, that the tourism association offers nor a German website and some of the hotels to their German customers expect a translation of the site or hotel prospectus, which can be described only as "patched up", then one should perhaps not be very surprised.
