Cala Cap Roig is a beautiful natural area that takes its name from the reddish rock formation that divides the beach in two.

Great not technical hike from Tossa de Mar, largely on a GR92 route. Peak offers great views.

The dolmen has the shape of a rectangular burial chamber, composed of large vertical stone slabs (orthostats) that support a horizontal upper slab (cover). It is surrounded by a tumulus, an accumulation of earth and stones that originally covered the entire structure, giving it the appearance of a small hill. It is approximately 7.5 metres long, with an inner chamber of 2 metres. Its entrance faces southeast, probably for astronomical or ritual reasons. It was used as a collective tomb, where the ancient inhabitants deposited the remains of the deceased along with offerings, tools, pottery and other funerary objects.

It was first documented in the 19th century, when the first archaeological investigations in the area began. The objects found in the dolmen, such as pottery and flint tools, have helped to understand the funerary and social customs of its builders. Legends related to witches and magic rituals circulate around the dolmen, common in the popular stories of the area. Like many dolmens, its orientation could be related to the position of the sun during the solstices, which reinforces its symbolic and spiritual importance.

It is one of the best preserved megalithic monuments in the region. This dolmen, built during the late Neolithic or Chalcolithic period (around 2,700-2,200 BC), is an impressive testimony to the funerary and spiritual practices of the prehistoric communities that inhabited this area.

There are also dolmens in Spain!

Impressive dolmen that is located a few meters from the center of Romanyà de la Selva and that makes us imagine the first hominids living in this maritime area of the Gavarres.

Located in a privileged enclave, at the foot of the Vila Vella wall, in the historic center of Tossa de Mar, this small beach continues to be a starting point for fishermen and a place of passage for walkers on the coastal path. The name of Es Codolar comes from the term còdol, and means pebble or boulder. Indeed, Cala d'es Codolar is a mixture of sand with some pebbles in a splendid natural setting, hidden under the tower of the same name of Villa Vella, one of the three that crown this medieval fortification of great historical value. Since the cove is so close to the center of Tossa de Mar (the other two urban beaches are Playa Gran and Playa de la Mar Menuda) it is usually quite busy during the summer months. It must be remembered that Codolar is a small cove, about 80 meters long by only approximately 60 meters.
