Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Blanes marks the southern start of the Costa Brava, where the Sa Palomera rock divides its long sandy beaches. The town has a working fishing port, a lively promenade and two famous botanical gardens, Marimurtra and Pinya de Rosa, set on cliffs above the sea. Barcelona and Girona are within easy reach. Catalonia's choral and musical traditions make Blanes a natural home for international choirs.
