Traveller notes on Tossa de Mar in May
Notes from nearby Girona (31 km away)
Tossa de Mar doesn't have its own notes for May yet — these are about Girona, close enough to share the season.
Girona's forum describes May as genuinely split — early May can be cool and rainy, while the back half turns noticeably more summery and reliable. Regulars point to the city's Temps de Flors flower festival as a highlight worth timing a visit around, and flag the sea as still too cold for swimming this early, making May better suited to walking and sightseeing than the beach.
