Barcelona to Tossa De Mar by bus?

Question

Do I generally need to book in advance if travelling between Barcelona and Tossa De Mar by bus, or can I just turn up on the day and get a ticket?

Answer 1

There is a regular and frequent service between Barcelona and Tossa de Mar, operated by the Sarfa bus company.  The journey time is between 1hr 10mins and 1hr 20mins depending on the time of day.   To get the bus times, visit the site below, click on to "interurban service" and complete the "origin" and "destination" boxes in the route search engine.   The complete daily timetable for the route will display.     You can book on-line or pay at the bus station in Barcelona.     I would have thought it possible to pay the driver, at the time, from my experience of bus travel in Spain.  

There is also a train link from Barcelona to Blanes, which is very reasonably priced.   You would then need to catch a bus to Lloret bus station, and another from Lloret to Tossa.
