About Mana Mana
Mana Mana Youth Hostel is a small family hostel with a friendly atmosphere. Owned by a young couple of self-confessed travel lovers, they renovated one of the oldest guesthouses on the Costa Brava, a traditional fisherman’s house.
This was originally opened as Pensió Moré during the tourist boom of the 60-ties and was one of the first guesthouses in Tossa de Mar, Spain. Continuing the legacy, they adapted the guesthouses to the needs of today and opened the first hostel in Costa Brava.
