fish in Tossa

all who see today visit Tossa de Mar in secret even the small fishing village that was before the 50s. They would come at all to the idea that, although very limited, richness of the place is not due to the local fishing. But on the economic history Tossa we talk another time

If you think really, we understand why fishing could never lead to riches, for all the "competitive locations" on the coast have a better road connection, and had before Tossa with the film "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman" in all his mouth was, more people. So how should the fishermen with their small boats to customers more quickly than the competition. The only advantage was the location that happen here fish (and occurred) that there is not already in the neighboring villages.

For a certain period of time was also a Tossa own fish market, but it was finally carried to his grave in 1992. Since then, the few remaining fishermen land their catch in Blanes offer to buy, which led last year to some friction as well as the privileges of the few remaining traditional fishing Tossa were abolished temporarily. Fishing as it is in Tossa still operated by some families is a shipwreck near, for the low income opportunity attracts no recruits.

Phlem On Newborn's Chest, What To Do

The arrival of the Magi from the East

As elsewhere in Spain, so wait in the Catalan Tossa the children on 24 December at the Christ child, but on the evening of 5 January on the arrival of the Three Kings who bring the gifts from the Orient, which is in a way logical, since the newborn Christ child hardly even think about gifts.

in Tossa de Mar will therefore each evening of the 5th January, a big parade, the same design to the German carnival. With the arrival of the kings and their retinue sweets are thrown in all directions, picking up the children Tossa from the street. Since the move, in which more than 100 people are involved takes place in darkness, he is also accompanied by a torchlight parade, the the atmosphere of the "Orient" is amplified.

The parade ends up at the church of the place where present the numerous children Tossa their name to the kings - with the hope of course that some of the requirements are met the next morning, which of course is no longer the object of the Kings, but the parents in attack must take.
