Blanes, Costa Brava.

by Pauldelabar - last update: Oct 2, 2005

Palm trees on the Paseo.

Seafront.
Blanes is a place sometimes overlooked when travelling to Lloret or Barcelona in the other direction.

Nearest large town(s)/city: Gerona or Barcelona.

Local Blanes (Spanish) time: UK + 1 hour.
Currency: the Euro
Language: Spanish (Catalan)


Quieter than Lloret, Blanes has a charm all of its own.
Beach tranquility.

< The beach at Blanes.

The beach is sandy and quieter at Blanes.

When I was last here there was a fantastic bar called 'The Laurel and Hardy Bar', which played short films by the comedy duo on TV. Also main feature films. Probably long gone now.
Blanes is local to Malgrat de Mar (Link) and Lloret (Link) if you would like a look at the meagre amount I have on my pages there.

Pros:"Quieter location."
Cons:"Railway station is a good way from the seafront."
In A Nutshell:"A lovely place well worth visiting."
