This is going to be a very stupid post but I had to leave record for future generations.
If you’ve visited Spain and you’ve travelled along the Costa Brava you might have come across Tossa de Mar. A very small town situated at less than 40km from Girona. Although its population has been increasing and the tourism has become quite important in the area, the town still preserves its picturesque corners from its origins in the XII century. It is a beautiful, relaxing and interesting place to spend a weekend in although something is not quite right with the place.
What I didn’t know, and thanks to an English friend I discovered, is that Tossa in Catalan is pronounced the same way as tosser in English, which means wanker. So here we have a town that would translate as Wanker of the Sea. That’s why this town won’t ever be a very popular holiday destination amongst British.
