Visit Blanes
The entrance door to the Costa Brava
Costa Brava has its gateway in Blanes, more specifically on the rock of Sa Palomera.
Blanes is a culturally rich town, a source of inspiration for many writers and artists. If we let ourselves get lost in its streets, we can enjoy its elegant nineteenth century houses and some interesting remains of Catalan Gothic architecture, among which the fabulous fountain, built during the 15th century, stands out.
Every year, at the end of July, one of the most emblematic events in Blanes and the southern Costa Brava is held: the International Fireworks Competition. A spectacle with more than a century of tradition that brings thousands of people to the town's beaches every summer.
Blanes also has a wide range of water activities such as kayaking or paddle surfing, which allows us to get to know its beautiful seafront first hand.
To enjoy a flexible and comfortable experience during your stay, tourist apartments in Blanes are a great option. They give you more private space and freedom to enjoy time your way.
Blanes is also known for its gastronomy, which highlights the traditional flavors of Catalan cuisine and the freshness of seafood. Along the seafront promenade and in the streets of the historic center, you will find a wide variety of restaurants and bars offering everything from tapas to more elaborate dishes. Don't miss the opportunity to savor a delicious seafood rice stew or a fideuà, typical dishes that reflect the Mediterranean essence of the town.
