In France, the bachelor party is referred to as “enterrement de vie de garçon” (for the groom-to-be).

The literal translation for this is “(the) burial of the life as a boy” or “burial/funeral of the life as a bachelor.”

For the bride-to-be, the party is referred to as “enterrement de vie de jeune fille,” which means “burial/funeral of the life as a young girl.”

As is the case in English-speaking countries, parties such as these frequently include the intake of copious amounts of liquor as well as a number of gentle humiliations. Sometimes a stripper is also involved.

Stag and Hen Weekends in Tossa de Mar: the Costa Brava Gem

January 5th, 2008 | Author: SEObyCanz.com

Stags and hens looking for a weekend to remember in the Spanish sunshine where exuberant activities take precedence over drink-fuelled revelry will love Tossa de Mar, a charming resort nestled into Spain’s rugged Costa Brava.

Tossa de Mar is one of the quieter resorts on the Costa Brava and has remained relatively unaffected by tourism and unspoilt by the monstrous high rise hotels that consume other parts of the Spanish coastline. With its medieval castle-like old town towering over the beach plus quaint, winding streets dotted with intriguing bars and boutiques offering a plethora of retail opportunities, it is not difficult to see why Tossa de Mar has become one of the most popular choices for the more discerning stag or hen looking to party in Spain.

Tossa is conveniently located just a short drive from Girona airport which is served by Ryan Air. Barcelona Airport is a 90 minute drive away but it offers a wider range of flight options.

Things to do on your stag or hen weekend in Tossa de Mar

Here are just a few activities that will make your weekend one to remember!

Paintballing and Quad Biking

Tossa is home to one of Europe’s top paintball sites which has hosted several world championships. Why not spend a couple of hours haring around the picturesque Costa Brava woodland, peppering your mates with fluorescent paint and then afterwards get yourself off into the mountains for some real life dusty mountain track quad biking?

Power Boating

Take an exhilarating trip on a speedboat and feel the wind in your hair as you skim the waves and witness the awe of the towering, rugged cliffs for which the Costa Brava is renowned before stopping off at some of the secluded bays and romantic smugglers’ coves along the way.

Archery

Hidden away along the Tossa coastline in a wonderful cove sits a fantastic archery centre where expert archery tuition is on offer. Highly enjoyable and very competitive, this activity is suitable for complete beginners, and perfect for Robin Hood and his Merry Stags!

Scuba Diving

The crystal clear waters surrounding Tossa de Mar are a divers’ favourite where you will find a myriad islets, islands, caves and reefs, perfect for the scuba diving enthusiast.

Wining & Dining

After an action packed day you will of course be looking for the perfect evening to round it off. Tossa de Mar is a food-lover’s paradise with dozens of restaurants to choose from. From mouth watering fresh fish and seafood to typical Spanish dishes like Paella; from Italian to Chinese; Wimpy to all day breakfasts; you really have got it all here in Tossa.

After your meal you can move on through a string of buzzing bars and cosy clubs that are open into the small hours and because Tossa is not a typical rowdy drinking destination that means you will not run into trouble from other parties.

Hens and stags looking for culture by day and a more subtle form of fun by night will quite simply love Tossa de Mar!
