Tossa de Mar - Vila Vella

How can one possibly describe a place that is so beautiful ... words are seemingly inadequate! The 'Vila Vella' is a medieval fortress castle in Tossa De Mar on the Catalan coast in Spain. Dating back to the end of the 12th century, the Vila Vella is the most perfect and intact example of a medieval fortified village on the Catalan coast - and has now been declared a National Historic Monument.

My composition 'Vila Vella' was inspired by the utter beauty of the place and here, presented with a collection of my own photographs, I hope to have captured some of that wonderful magic.

Thank you for watching and listening! - JOHN WALKER

¡ No hay suficientes palabras para describir tan bello lugar ! La Vila Vella es una fortaleza medieval que desde un promontorio domina la bahía de Tossa de Mar desde el siglo XII, siendo el ejemplo más notorio de villa amurallada en toda la costa catalana. La Vila Vella ha sido declarada recientemente monumento histórico nacional. Inspirada por la belleza del lugar, mi composición "Vila Vella", aquí presentada junto a una colección de mis propias fotografías, espera haber capturado algo de su extraordinaria magia. Gracias por su atención - JOHN WALKER

Thank you Carmel! For interest, in Spanish (Catalan) 'Vella' is pronounced 'Veyer' (Two l's = y). All the best - JOHN

I love Spain. Since I had the language in the school, a total of three years. The beautiful landscape, the culture, the friendly people, the joy of life. This is Spain for me. Recently I've seen clips of Andalusia, I was surprised. This landscape with all its beautiful cities are probably among the most beautiful in Europe, simply impressive

GREETINGS from Germany :)
